Chainring sizes- need road cyclist's help

Sorry for he weird question.
It's about Chainrings. Is there anyway to determine the overall, outside diameter of the ring if you know the tooth count and/or BCD?

I am having an issue fitting a single speed crank on a converted mountain frame because the ring (48t) is hitting the chainstay. I just want to know if buying a smaller ring will clear the stay. I already bought the crank from the internetz and can't return it so if possible am trying to wedge the thing in anyway I can.


My crank: Sram S300 1.1 courier [130 BCD, 48t (fixed spindle)]


If there is no way of calculating it, does anyone have a Sram 39t 130 BCD ring on their bike they can measure for me? I think that is the smallest that will fit on my spider. Thanks...

Thank You.
