is it possible to swap 4x4 granada 5 stud hubs onto Sapph Cos?

i've found some wheels i really want, and 5x112 granny hubs makes more sense than pcd adaptors...

yes, it's a straight forward hub swap if you simply undo the big hub nut

however, with the inherant problems you may face, and the cost of changing the bearings as well as the potential for the hub nuts to strip the threads on the shafts, it may be easier to simply get some brackets made to get your brakes to fit

btw, been there, done that, same problems i had

Bloomers

are the brakes the same size front and back, then?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

nope, the hub lugs have a different offset

hmmm. might just be a case of swap the flanges, then

dojj

iTrader: (3)

you made need a press then,the bearings tend to rall apart when the things come out

i'll need 4x4 ones bud, thanks for the offer, though

Glenn - Think it has to be. so limited for wheel choice by 4x108 nowadays

used to be able to buy them new from ford for £104 each back in the day

Whats the wheels??? Same PCD as my Audi.

I quite fancy 5 stud hubs just to be different but...

Did Granada/Scorpio 4x4 models get 5 stud wheels?

If they did, are the hub flanges a straight swap onto Sierra Cosworth 4x4 hubs and driveshafts?

If the didn't, can I use rear flanges on the front for Sierra Cosworth 4x4 hubs and driveshafts?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

yes

yes

no as they are a different size on the bearings

My mate had his 500 converted to 5 stud ( keeping all the original parts though I might add )

Same story though, got some BBS split rims in 5 stud and had to have them on his car along with the 330mm 4 pots





Certainly looks epic on them !

my idea...


but just having 5x112 leaves a myriad of possibilitys

iTrader: (1)

Wow there stunning.Defo do it.

Cool, or contact manufacturer and request if they can drill a blank set to Ford PCD if needed?

lime

so if i have 4x4 hubs on a sapp all i have to do is change the flanges , and if i use the granada rotor will it fit the 2wd caliper

dojj

iTrader: (3)

just drill some new holes in the disc to mount to the flange

you need to file out one of the holes and drill 4 more

easy if you know what you are doing but if you don't, then not as simple and straight forward as it sounds

lime

hmm in that case i think i will jus buy some evo 8 calipers and a willwood disc to suit
