Thanks
Be aware that tires stretch with time after being inflated. Whatever you do now to get enough clearance to ride the bike will not be enough in a few weeks. Far better to just consider this a learning experience, get the right size and ride in peace of mind. (We've all made similar mistakes. You weren't the first and won't be the last.)
