i also have another radial laced front wheel and spokes have been laced inbound, and there's plenty of clearance. so my solution to this, have the wheel relaced with the spokes inbound.

I'd prefer a properly laced 2/3 cross wheel, protects the hubs, tension can be higher, stays truer longer... this isn't the sort of bike for a "racers" look IMHO.
