Looking for New pedals.

I presently have some Look 247 pedals after moving on from mtb spds on my roadbike. Apparently they are quite an old model despite the fact I only bought them 2 or 3 years ago from a LBS.
I am looking for some new ones to go on a new road bike shortly.
Is there anything which adjusts laterally as at the moment my road bike shoes run VERY close to the crank arms on pedalling. I have tried to adjust cleats but cannot move them anymore. When I put overshoes on in winter I can feel the crank arm go past my shoe on every pedal stroke.
I was thinking of Look Keo, Shimano 105/Ultegra or some sort of Time ones.
Thanks.
Still thinking!

    For a really cheap-as-chips (copyright D. Dickinson) solution, you could always space the existing pedals out a little further by using a couple of pedal washers (I think Specialites TA and others do them) between the crank and the threaded bit of the pedal spindle. For what it's worth, I currently run Look PP396s with a Campag Veloce crankset and have had no bother to date.

    You dont want to be too far out though do you ? Q factor and all that stuff ? My road shoes rub on the crankarm. Its not been a problem yet, and its not my winter bike - so thats fine.
