depends...
but, i sortta remember your bike... from your Post/Thread - a 2008-9 ish Roubaix with Blue Tires ??? funny what stick in one's cabesa...
those bikes had fairly narrow chainstays... and for my Roubaix and Tarmacs, 28 width is a 'no go' - barely fit with prolly 1-2 mm clearance... But that's with HED wheels which have a 21 internal rim width...
Depending on your rims - 28 might just fit - but I'd make sure or expect they might not, after you get them...
... just sayin...

BTW, that was a good buy... how the bike workin?
EDIT: just saw that the prior Kendas were 28s, so those wheels should handle most 28s...
