Rear Drum Clearance/Cooling

Rear Drum Clearance/Cooling
This coming spring I will be embarking on a Tacoma width SAS swap paired with a Taco rear axle. My question is, I test fitted the factory 15 in rim on the Tacoma axle and there is about 1/2 an inch of clearance between the drum and the rim... the drum pretty much fills up the entire rim... should I be worried about this impacting cooling/brake fade? In other words, do I need to upgrade to a 16 in or 17 in rim?
My driving style doesn't typically involve frequent hard braking, so I'm thinking I should be ok. Thought I'd put this out there to see what others have to say.
Thanks in advance!
