425mm chainstays + 700x40c tyre + mudguards + front derailleur is very ambitious.
Wot Matt says - 50mm offset fork plays nicely with 72 HA. Though the (presumably) lugged fork crown and blade length largely dictates this - guessing it's an offset crown for straight blades? Maybe longer reach and slightly shorter stem is also an option for increasing FC and eeking out a bit more toe clearance?
...or go with 650b and not worry about having to make large volume 700c fit into a confined space.
Ignore what @amey says about wheelbase - not important given the context of the bike.
