It's not merely the size that's the issue. There is also the shape, grip
length, etc.
Generally, some studs are knurled right at the end and then smooth to pass
through a rotor, prior to the threads starting, while others are configured the
other way around, like the stock Pantera stud, which is smooth at the end,
then knurled for a bit, then threaded.
Factory studs are ridiculously expensive, but some Pantera vendors carry
identical made-in-USA replacements, and sell them for standard auto shop prices.
If you brought one of your stock studs in to an auto shop, chances are they
wouldn't have a replacement on the shelf, but they might be able to match it.
If you do this, let us know what you find out.
