Challenge Getaway 700x45 measured width?

Following up to an earlier post, my wife is looking for a bigger tire, I'd like to try the Getaway 700x45 but the max width recommended by Litespeed for their Ultimate G bike is 43mm. Anyone know the actual measured width of the 700x45? I realize that it will depend on the width of the rim, in our case we have Stan's Grail MK3 rims with an internal width of 20.3mm. I really like my Getaway 700x40 tires and their measured width is closer to 700x38. Thanks for any info.

I can't tell you about the 45, but I'm using the 36 on 21mm internal rims, and they measure a bit over 36. I like the Getaway a lot - it's fast!
