My guess is the ignoramus tapped threads into the axle flanges so he could run bolts in. I've seen dumber things done to put wheels on a car. Pictures and story coming tomorrow, a '54 Buick with wire wheels that was brought to my shop this year.

 .Reaming out for 1/2" studs would have been best - I did that for the Trans Am. |

Many of the aftermarket axle companies offer an option of threaded axles that take studs that thread into the rear of the flange. Looks like the owner skipped the threaded studs and went directly to bolts.
Strange screw in studs

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
