Mark, Looks like the proper way to fix this problem is to tighten the felloe band. The fit is too loose so the felloe band has slipped to the side. If the wheel was mine, I would remove the felloe band, and while the felloe band is off, shim between the felloe band and wood fellows with a thin strip of copper. Double check the fit of the felloe band while you are doing this. Shim until the felloe band is too tight to go on. Preheat the fellow band with a propane brush torch, and then quickly hammer the band down where the band belongs and quench with water to prevent burn damage from the hot fellow band. Reset your rivets. All done........
