Yes it is possible to use early 50's car hubs to convert to 5-lug.

Another option that might be easier is to convert to 5-lug disks in the front. This may actually be more work because it requires messing with more parts and converting to a dual master, but it could be easier because you don't have to find any 50-year-old brake drums.
