I found that they were about 3/8" wider measured from outside of caliper to axle tip than the Matco brakes. On my 235, the wheel would not retract all the way into the well before the axle hit the underside of the top wing skin. I considered modifying the axle, but this would have moved the caliper into the space occupied by the outer gear door. So reluctantly, I returned them to Grove. It appears that the wheel well area of the 320 wing is somewhat deeper than in my 235. Bob Belshe L235/320
