Distance of widest point of 650bx42 tire from axle

Hey everyone,
looking for the diameter of a 650b wheel with 42mm tire at its widest point (ie distance of widest point from axle).
Going to prep a steel frame that came with 27" wheels for a 650b conversion and don't want the BB to drop super far and know a 42 won't clear now, so going to add a couple small dimples to the chainstays. Need to know where exactly to make the dimples. I don't have a wheel/tire setup handy, otherwise this part would be easy. Also, gonna get it sandblasted and powdercoated before I start buying parts up.

Can anyone point me to a thread where this is covered if you know one, or anyone with this wheel/tire combo take this measurement real quick?

Thanks!
