All depends what you want. I’m not familiar with the WW rotors. We removed the stock rotors and I installed new bearings and seals in the mustang rotors. I didn’t see any clearance issues with the rotors or calipers. We have the 17” Campi wheels on our car. I do remember there were some alignment shims to help center the caliper on the rotor you need to watch for. Just be sure the rotor is fully seated on the spindle and check your centering. As far as the lug nuts go it’s your choice if you want them different front to back. It’s only a matter of time before you will get them mixed up unless they are different shapes. Most auto parts have a press in the back take the new rotors and have them push out the 1/2 inch studs which generally have a 9/16 knurled spline. Be sure you ream the holes square thru the flange (a good tight properly set up drill press or Bridgeport) no hand drills. Ream them up to the size required for proper press fit the 12 mm metric spline body to fight the tightening torque to hold the wheels on. Take them back to the shop and have them press them back in. You can flip an open lug nut over and pull them in that way if you can find a way to hold onto the rotor.

Remember, photographs seen with online listings are often generic or outdated.

If you are seeking the thinner early mustang rotors you should search for part number BD60208

If you are searching for the thicker, later mustang rotors you should search for part number BD60209

I have been there and done that on replacing all four rotors on 2511. I followed some inaccurate advice and purchased four BD60209, the thicker mustang rotor.

I still have two of these available.

As these were purchased  quite a few years ago they are the two part assemblies. I do not believe the later mustang hub is correct for the Pantera spindle, but as these are the two part assemblies the disc can be removed and attached to the Pantera hub, thus retaining the metric wheel studs

Please send a private message should anyone be interested in purchasing these.

Hi the issue is not the actual size of the threaded portion of the stud. You are correct 12mm is smaller than the 1/2 inch equivalent (12.7mm). I did find 12mm studs that would not lock in the stock hole of the rotor. The issue that requires sizing is the matching of the spline below the threads that prevents the rotation during tightening the wheel. I’m happy to hear that you found a stud that matched with sufficient interference to change from inch to metric.  I was not that lucky and had to ream the holes to change from 1/2 inch to 12mm and achieve the correct interference.
