Ok for the front hubs, it's a direct swap GK/Lancer. Done deal.
For the rear:
OEM:
All you do is buy this Timken part #512197 from a Santa Fe without ABS ring
If the ring doesn't fit up I could try another hub that it will fit on:
(Nissan Cefiro)
I believe that's a 36mm diameter.
Then just swap the ABS Reluctor Ring over by heating it up with a torch and bam, direct fit! All there is to it. 5 lug Tiburon.

Enlighten me padre! If it's remotely similar, it should be a piece of cake, a simple swap out.
The rings you just heat up for removing and installing.
My car is nowhere near me, but I ordered three of these hubs and rings for mock ups. I've watched numerous bearing replacement videos. It's a spindle, bearing, and hub. Piece of cake. The assembly/disassembly is hard but I'm not doing that myself at least not now.
Mad_john had to swap control arms because he was converting to GK and the GK rears don't fit.
