2wd cossie discs are 283mm and 4x4 ones are 278mm!!
ST170 ones are 300mm and should fit behind 16's! infact i think Christian even has 330mm behind 16's on his car!

you have to drill the hub 12mm and use some spacers i think mate, I dont know how far you space them but im pretty sure you dont need brackets. I think focus rs brakes need a bracket making. I could be wrong though.
I also think the calipers off a 2.0 diesel mondeo are the same so it could be a cheaper option.
Let me know if you need any brackets making as i work i'm a metal fabricator by trade.
