My mate had AP's on his 3 door and RS 7 spokes wouldn't fit at all.

Their not good wheels for clearance

Cosworth wheels are 16" if you mean Escort so no they won't fit.

Diamond cuts are the same thing aren't they ?

You need some decent wheels to have enough clearance for big brakes

Maybe some s/h bmw 4 pots from E36/43 as these sell cheaply, and a set of FRS(mk1) discs 325mm, with reyland brackets ?

The focus st asbo stoppers should fit with a bracket for the calipers and a redrilled set of brake discs. Probably the easiest solution all round single pot calipers with big e ough discs to look and performe well enough in an escort
