Question Rear drums

Hi
So I just got a 55 late series and the first thing is to go through the brakes. I can not find rear drums. The service manual says I have 1 3/4" rear brakes. I can find the correct 1" bore wheel cylinder ($6 on Rockauto, acdelco, the 1 1/8 for the front is like $29) and 1 3/4 shoes. But only 2" drums, same as the front. Do I just use the 2" drum with the smaller wheel cylinder and shoes? Will I also have to change my lug nuts?
Thanks
Carl
