Looking at the pictures, I believe your original failure was caused by using the wrong wheels.

The slots you appear to be setup to run a short shank nut. Your wheel bolts are conical seats. They are not compatible and it does not appear your new rims are compatible either.

Do you plan to convert all 4 corners to studs? I hope so.

To be honest, the drum setup on a 37 isn't worth the price of studs. Non self energizing drum brakes are terrible. I know you aren't planning on it right now, but I wouldn't invest in studding out the original drums myself, I'd just go with modern brakes all around.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
