Just wondering if there is a modern-ish replacement for the 4 stud hubs that are plug-and-play?

eg would Mondeo front wheel hubs fit all round?

Back end is easy, Granada are a straight swap. Front end not so, as 4x4 Grannies are very thin on the ground.

Also you are then stuck with 5x108 and not many decent wheels available in that bolt pattern

I had a full set of hubs re machined to take the BMW 5x120 bolt pattern but that was as a favour, would cost a fortune to pay a machine shop to do it. Sold them to a guy in Europe in the end to go on an escos.

Basically had the existing hub face machined away and the remaining stub threaded and a new hub face screwed onto that with a 5x120 set up for the wheels to bolt to, as I liked the 5 series 17" BBS split rims.

sorry for the off topic but I wonder if it would be worthwhile having my 5x112 hubs on my daily/project/money pit drilled/tapped so they was both 5x112 & 5x120 fitment.

I'm pretty sure Granny 4x4 are 5x112 and the last time I looked they were still available from Ford, albeit at a premium

the front hubs, the last time i bought a set, were £104 each, for the 4x4 granada

then i didn't fit them and theymight be in the pile in the garage or, more likely, tin cans after i took them to get weighed in

Whats 4mm between friends!

You are quite right, was mixing it up with the Ferrari bolt pattern.

Probably easier to get hub adapters off the shelf, easy enough for 5 bolt set up. Its 4 to 5 that is the problem as one hole always clashes
