Default 315mm brakes under 15"

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever fitted titanium 315mm front brake (4 pots calipers) AP Racing under 7x15 group A wheels ? Or is it fitting only 16" wheels ?

Matt,

Sorry pal, I only do escort now, lol....I was going to edit my reply, the early cars did run 16" gravel wheels, most standardised to 15" though for better tyre choices....

Ah yes this is what I thought hehe. Well will go on the 15" route then. Didn't knew it was because of tyres choice.
