The simplest way to figure out if your chosen brakes have
the correct reach is to insert your wheels of choice into the
frame in question, and use a caliper to measure from the
center of the brake bole hole to the center of the rim in the
frame. The brakes you select should include that distance in
their stated range.
Short of doing that, no one here will be able to tell you much.
You can buy a usable plastic vernier caliper at Harbor Freight for $2 and tax.
Try to remain calm, at least until the zombies come.
