Helping out a friend who recently purchased a set of aftermarket Empi type 5 spoke wheels. They came off a stock wide 5 drum system, from a standard '65 Ghia. They were bought new from a well named VW store.

Question? Will these bolt up to a stock drum brake 1960 single cab? I was told the type 1 lugs/studs will need to be replaced from 12mm to 14mm AND the center cap area of the wheels will need to be drilled out larger?
