Modern wheels on a 57’ Buick

Members, have a 1957 Buick Century and would like to put modern wheels and tires on her...along with disc brakes in the front.
Just removed the wheels and found out that they are bolts...not nuts ....would I have to change over to studs to have wheels put on?...I know the front will be changed out when converted to disc...wondering how the rear goes.
thanks
jimmi V.
 
I replaced all my bolts with studs on my 50 ready for newer wheels. you just need to get the right press in fit size for the threaded holes. Make sure they pull in all the way as the rear brake shoe spreader bar was just clipping mine and needed grinding.... but you will know this when you spin the drums.
