I looks like you answered your own question. If the rims are made for disc and you have drum....I can think of only 2 possible solutions.

1) get a rear disc setup.

2) sell your rims and get some that fit.

Brakes have nothing to do with it. The 00 wheels (not rims) have a different backspacing - by nearly 2 inches. You will need spacers.
