It's 12 mm per side. So probably the driveshafts are also 12 mm longer per side.

Is there anything else besides the trackwidth that would change with Granada arms and shafts out back?
On the rear ARB, I think the only difference between Sierra/Granada was the "cut out" of the bar around the diff (7/7.5) or its carrier respectively?
There are quite a few differences between different Sierra rear axles. The 2wd Cosworth is most comparable to the Granada mk3. With Granada arms on a Sierra you will also have more negative camber, next to the wider track.
The cut out in the arb around the diff can indeed be different, but all Granada (and bug eye Scorpio) rear arbs fit the Sierra, so there are quite some diameters to choose from (14, 16, 18, 20, 21 and 22 mm).

"Scorpio" = Ultima frog / bugeye thingie '94-up
Also, the 100/108mm cv joints is the flange diameter or the length?
Also, imho all Mk3 Granadas had 5 lugs (at least my 90 12V 2wd and my facelifted 92 2.0i 2wd had, and about every other I have seen so far).
The 100/108 mm is indeed the flange diameter. All mk3 Granadas (upto 1994) had 5 lugs and the Scorpio (bug-eye, from 1994-1998) had 4 lugs.

The text and the pic (which isn't mine) was referring to the Granada mk3. Indeed only the flanges are wider and angled differently on the rear. The longer arms to give more trackwidth is on the front.
