Replacing tubular wheels

I bought this Maserati bike a few wheeks ago. It came with a set of steel Rigida wheels, 27" size. They were flat. I know that, original, the bike had tubular tires. I had the same bike in blue three years ago.
I had laying around a set of 27" Benelux Ambrosio which looked to be ok on the bike. I put a set of new 27 x 1 1/4" tires.
Now the problem is that is not too much room left between the tire and the frame, as you can see in the last picture.
Probably some 27 x 1 1/8" wide will resolve the problem (hard to find), or a set of 700C wheels?
