700x32c fit fine in my frame, but if I were looking for more volume, what size 650b's could i reasonably fit?

I recently just snuck 650b x 42c tires into my frame. 

 

I did have to pinch the pinch slightly, but they fit perfectly now.

 

The issue isn't the total diameter of the wheel, it's the width of the gap in the stays.

 

If you want to check clearance let me know. I'm in Muizies. You can ride to me, check if the tires fit and ride home!

There is no rule as frames/forks vary wildly - grab a vernier and measure the chainstay, seatstay and fork width at the 650b diameter...

 

Normally the limit is the fork followed by the chainstay then seatstay...
