I have an 87 wrangler yj. Can I rivet the fender flares on to the body? Will they hold?

I just got the jeep back from having body work done and a new paintjob and the fender flares were in the backseat, lol. Just need to know the best way to put them back on. Rivets, nuts and bolts, etc?

    Stock, they have a self tapping bolt that threads into a square plastic nut. You can rivet them on if you can get the rivet gun in there. I would put the rivet through the flare into the body. The only problem would be if you wanted to remove them later on

    Any good body shop supply store should be able to sell you the proper plastic nuts to attach them like the factory did.
