    I ordered some new 10 spokes from Branda for my '68 KR. They only came in 15X8. Now I am looking at them and worried they are way too wide to put on my stock '68 KR without some major front tire rubbing. I was planning on putting some Kelsey Goodyear Speedway 350 E15 polyglas tires on them, but am worried they may not fit. Anyone have any experience here? Thanks for any help.

    Pretty sure they are 7" like originals. The width is inside to inside not out to out.

    Thanks, you are right, they are 7", somehow they just looked wider sitting on the floor.
