So the real issue is having metric wheel studs on the back and US-spec
wheels studs on the front. Yea... that could be problematic for the
grease monkey at the local tire shop.
As I recall, the biggest problem with other hub-on-hat combos that
have been tried, is that metric studs from the stock Pantera rotor
will end up spinning in the new hub because they are too loose. But
if the hub comes with studs, why not just use them... because then
you'd have a mis-match. I think I got it now. (but may need to be
reminded again in several days).
