What spoke length did you use for this? Can one use the original 18" spokes?
I asked this because the stock 15" spoke fitted nicely with my new 17" rim for the rear tyre (South East Asia got 15" wheel for stock), and I wonder if the front can do the same.

Adding to the fun, I couldn't use my wheel mounting stand because the centering spindle was too large to fit through the wheel bearing.
I don't know if it makes a lot of difference, the 19" rim is 2.15" and the Shinko tire calls for a 2.50" rim.
The tire seems to fit OK.
