What I will be curious to discover now, is why reality is different from the output of bikecad and the basic math you can do, like 540 (front wheel) - 165 (crank arm) - 336 (radius of a 700/23) it leaves 39mm and that assuming no q-factor at all... how is it possible the tyre rubs/touch the crank?
One thing to consider is that a 165mm crank arm is actually a good bit longer than 165mm. Probably closer to 185.

What is the 540 (front wheel) number you are using?
