370 would actually be bang on for 700x45. I took 420 from a standard rack height, but I want it as low as possible. Might need longer though for 29x2.2-2.4.

Nitto do 420mm struts, available at Freshtripe.

What are you planning to use for the clamp? Nitto rack bolts+p clips might work but doesn't seem very neat. I've been trying to source some Surly hardware (like this) for something similar, but slightly different.

Nice. And Sim Works does a black version: https://freshtripe.co.uk/simworks-x-nitto-rack-stay-420mm/

Freshtripe said they can be secured with a daruma bolt, which would be fairly neat.
