There are up to 50 different sets of rules when determining eligibility for a DL... You need to consult your indivual state's DMV website for the correct answer...

Google "dmv + (your state here)". You should find your state's dmv website. Look for ID requierments to determine whether you can request your driver's license now or if you'll have to wait until you get your EAD.

In North Carolina, for instance, you may get a DL as long as your I-94 is valid. Once expired, you may not get a DL or learner's permit until you receive your green card or EAD. What the DMV is looking for is proof of residency, and permission to be in country. A k-1 gives you 90 days.
Make sure you check your state's DMV rules BEFORE your I-94 expires.

We had to wait for the EAD to arrive before Rich could get his driver license. He just finally got his license yesterday!

Since your profile lacks where you live, I cannot give you a specific answer.
Driving privileges are giving by the state that you live in, NOT the federal government, so residency requirement varies by state, virtualy all require SSN, but also require residency evidence that varies from nothing to EAD, Green-card, I-551 stamp, valid I-94, etc...
