I’ve tried a while ago fitting the plates on the outside and it came about 175mm or so.
I think it’s a bit of trial and error as each fork is different (straight blade or not, height of the eyelet on the blade, etc).
I wouldn’t force it open too much as it’s a 3 piece alloy and you might end up stressing it causing it to fail.
