they look nice - i wonder what series AP calipers they are ?

some of the 4 pots available from AP only run £150 each - not bad at all .

I think you would struggle getting them under 13" wheels TBH!!! It states them to be used with a 305mm disk! I'm running 280mm disks under 15" wheels with around 3mm clearance.

The problem you could have with running them on 280's is the pad may not be in full contact with the disc. It could be overhanging - that will depend on the exact shape of the disc.
