i thought you were doing a cossie conversion using the matching discs. those discs with calpiers will fit under those rims tho.

pretty sure cossie discs are 283mm. they will be fine. when you start using discs up close to 300mm is when you need 16's for them to fit!

i dont know for sure as mine didnt have this set up. but you could always trying taking the wheel off and putting the disc and caliper in by hand to check for clearance. might save a lot of wasted time!
