55 2nd 3100 front brake drums

Got a new set of brake drums for the front of my 55 2nd 3100. The original drums are held on to the hubs with rivets. I think a PO has ground the rivet heads off to clear aluminum wheels. The shop manual says to press rivets out and re install rivets, and peen with special tool. It looks to me that one could omit the rivets, as the 6 wheel lugs will locate the drum just like the rear drums are?
