I always keep old cartridge BBs that I remove just for testing width. In theory just about any BB can be used to check as long as the chainring doesn't hit the chainstay.
Install a BB and measure the chainline and measure each crank arm to chainstay distance. That will tell you if you need to shim and what length of BB you need for the correct chainline.
