10mm to the granny ring sounds pretty wide to me. That's almost 1/2 inch. I'm an old analog kind of guy. I've always set up triples with minimum clearance, maybe 5mm, on the granny ring. That would move your crankset over about 1 chainring's worth and your front derailleur would have the travel it needs.
Square taper or octalink? If it's square taper I'd try a 110 spindle. If it's octalink I don't know what to tell you because I don't think that the V2 that you need comes any shorter than 113.
