The shoes need to be arced anyway in order for the brakes to work 
correctly. That should be done first. If the drum will then barely fit 
over the shoes, it may be possible to bring it home with the axle nut.

It is possible that the shoes were over size in anticipation of the 
drums being turned. I prefer not to turn drums unless I have to. That 
said, you may have to.

I would have the drums turned if they have never been done before or 
they are still within tollerance for thickness.  If this doesn't solve 
the problem, then have the shoes arced.
