If they DO clear other factory Ford rims lots of people are gonna want to know!

No Ford FG rim (except FPV) will clear Brembo calipers.As Ralph has said, you will not lose money on these. In fact I think you could clean them and probably flip them for a few 100 more without any issues. 2

I would have thought that they would be smaller in size.Well I cant see how AP racing have a 4 pot calliper that will fit under my rims then.

No idea on brake engineering but I'm sure there's more than one way to skin a cat.
