Hi Everyone-this is my first post,

I recently purchased a 1949 Plymouth and Id like to put some modern wheels on it. But when I pulled a wheel to have a look at it, I found that it had a "locating pin" (not sure that is the correct word for it). Can that be ground or cut off since I dont know of any modern wheels that would have a hole for it? I also observed some rivets on the hub that would prevent a modern wheel from seating on the hub properly. Any idea what I can do with those?

I know that this can be done because I have seen '49 and '50 Plymouths with modern wheels. But just in case I am stuck with the original wheels, does anyone know if tubeless tires can be fitted to them? I dont know when tubeless tires were invented but I think it was some time after my car was made.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
