HI RPM,
This is a common Problem when you purchase standard shoes they have been sized to fit standard drums allowing for small amount of wear to the drum.
In my opinion the correct way is to measure drum inside Dia and if there is enough thickness have the drums skimmed all to the same size,
Then have the shoes relined with a thicker material and reground to the new drum Dia
you will find when fitted the adjusters will have returned to standard allowing for full adjustment
PS
Any machining of the drum will increase dia so the lining has to be Radiused to the same dia otherwise you will not get at least
90 percent contact between drum ad lining
