Rear brake caliper question

Hi,

Im in the process of restoring my recently aquired KDX200 1990.

Ive just changed the rear brake pads, and refitted the wheel.

With the caliper pins pushed in fully, they make slight contact with the spokes as the wheel rotates. Pushing the pins back through slightly fixes this, but seems odd, and doesnt seem like the correct solution!

Is this normal?

That doesn't seem normal. Were those pins in the caliper when you got the bike?

are those the correct pins?
how much are they sticking out of the caliper? should be flush pretty much.
