Wait, don't spend that money! I'm certain that your problem is incorrect adjustment or something else, but not any worn or sheared splines...!
Also, 5-ton sprag clutches have a fairly good reputation, for lasting relatively long. (Not like the sprags in the Deuces...)
What you describe as...
The hub and drum assembly is already off of the axle, so doing anything on the backing plate won't help you a bit in this case...
First scrape all paint and rust off of the protruding pilot hub. Then put the two attaching screws back in (not all the way) and give them a few hits with hammer and...
I see that is that "less common-less expensive...?" design, with no separate seal retainer...
I've never had to work on one like that before. At least it seems that the flywheel housing can stay in place in order to change the main seal - and that the seal just goes pressed into that bore...
That Pro-Comp wheel you linked to will clear your brakes just fine.
The problem I see with 15"x 10" rims at only 4.25" backspace is the total resulting width: expect 9-10 inches increase, measured between tire outer sidewalls, compared to the stock dimension.

Most MRAP wheels (Al and steel) are 20x10", having the same specs for the bead section as shown here, for the HEMTT wheels...
Not really impressed about that one... Confusing at least, like "CAUTION: Do not slide seal over threaded end of spindle, or damage to seal may result."....
Sure enough there are lots of posts and step-by-step write-ups, here on SS, which describe the process in question in much better detail...
New updated contact info...
Time to have them (?) updating this thread...!
BTW, (Justin's) last activity was late June, 2016.
PM and e-mail sent. Will see who (and what) comes back...
Edit to add:
I just got "official word" from the company's VP Mr. Milligan (at Rounders...
