130 v 185 drum brake size

does anyone know if the rear drum brakes on 130 and 185 surfs are the same external size?
because I have just been told 185 calipers won't fit on 130 hubs ( which I was planning on doing for sas) which means I use 130/hilux calipers which means 15 inch rims will fit on front. looks like heaps of room around drums on rear. if 15s fit rear I can use 15 inch rims which means a lot easier to find second hand rims and tyres. :)
if that's the case I will have some factory 80 series alloys and staun internal beadlocks (new) for sale. :roll:
