I have some hens teeth here if you want to swap them for a set of hubs. Yes, they are VERY rare nowadays.

if you want to go with 2wd then you just swap the rear hubs via the hub nuts and the front hubs from the granada complete and use cossie 4x4 struts and springs

sorry mate, I'm being really stupid. So you can run the 5 stud 2wd granada gear on the 4x4 cossie but just a bit more work?

What about the offsets with both ways? what know what you end up with?

Which wheels have you tried? Mind you, you have got 380's - bit greedy! lol
