You wont be able to redrill the cossie 4x108 into a 5x120 because:
1) You cant drill 5 holes without overlapping and
2) a 5x120 is too big to fit onto the front hub as the holes won't be fully on the hub.

Granada hub will let you use 5x112 or a redrill 5x110. You won't be able to use 5x120 on the front as like above the holes won't be fully on the hub.

Is it for a 2wd or 4wd cossie?

not enough meet on them beef to redrill

you can do the 5 onto 4 as it just means offsetting the holes a bit, but i don't think there is enough meat on them to get the full 120 out

you would also need to consider the discs you'd be putting over the top as if you use a larger flange you will need appropriate discs to go over the top of them, meaning not being able to use your normal off the shelf ford stuff
