Helpful Expert Reply:

The Dexstar Vintage Wheel you mentioned, part # AM20395 is typically lug-centric, which means that it would mount to a hub that has wheel studs and would use lug nuts, not lug bolts. The wheel usually goes on a hub like part # 8-174-5UC3, which also uses clamps to join the hub to the rim.

If for some reason your existing hubs use lug bolts, you'd need to determine the length and diameter of the bolt needed as well as the thread pitch of the bolt. Since in my experience, these hubs usually have studs, I couldn't begin to tell you exactly what size bolt you need.
