I'm trying to work out what I have and what I need.

I bought what I thought were 256mm with mk2 carriers. I then got the Scirocco 16v carriers:

But looking at the calipers, they seem to be 280mm:

Question 1)
Are the carriers different for 256 and 280?
I am guessing they are as I think someone said you can use 280 carriers with 256 calipers (after some filing)

Question 2)
If I need new carriers and the Epytec adpator for the 280, is it better to sell them and try to find 256? Or should I sell the carriers and keep the calipers?
The calipers are freshly sand-blaster & rebuilt and they look mint.

Question 3)
Will the 280mm even fit in the cabi 15" Le Castle wheels?

For anyone stumbling across this in the future…

It seem the Epytec adapter doesn't need a custom carrier, it works with the carriers that came with the 280mm disks.
