Defining the column when inserting?

My macro adds several columns to the right of the user selected cells using the code shown below.

Code:
Selection.Offset(, 1).EntireColumn.Insert
The issue is the column for the selected cells is usually +300 pixels. The added column only needs to be the standard 64. Is there a simple way of defining the width when the column is inserted?
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
For instance

Code:
Columns(1).ColumnWidth = 8.43

Thank you wigi. That works great, the final code:

Code:
For CtrNum = 0 To 2
    Selection.Offset(, 1).EntireColumn.Insert
    Selection.Offset(, 1).ColumnWidth = 8.43
Next

Or simpler:

Code:
With Selection.Offset(, 1).Resize(, 3).EntireColumn
    .Insert
    .ColumnWidth = 8.43
End With
