Thanks @vp1337 !
Now, first part i needed were the wheels, i wanted the build to be modern and strong, i went for 36H and i found a couple of 36H tiagra hubs at decent price (RS400), after some search i found some BERNARDI mtb-rim-brake 27.5" rims at decent price, even if i wanted them to be silver at first...
...well, the velo-orange were out of my budget.
Now, the tyres!
We all know the struggle of picking the right tyre for this kind of build, had to deal with real width (i have a max of REAL 39mm there), so i needed to cut off some of the top choices for the width or the absurd price they have.
After some research i ended up picking the panaracer gravelking 27.5 x 1.5 (38x584) which have an exact 37.6mm of width, finally something that's exactly, or almost, what they are sold for; they are even reasonably priced and i like the para on the sidewall.
Yes, i will not end up with much room on the chainstays, but i wanted to fix this problem later if needed.
Hubs tiagra 10/11 RS400: 43€ shipped
rims: 56€ both
Tyres: Panaracer Gravel king 38x584: 74€ shipped (including two tubes)
Edit: added a small gif of the clearance
