I might be able to look up the steelie as I have one locked away, and the spare doughnut (although the latter might be of little use). Four millimeters is a tiny difference anyway -- between 1/6th and 1/7th of an inch.

Forty millimeters is over an inch and a half. Wide fenders and abandoning the idea are the two best options in my opinion.
