Wow! I thought the outer ring on a Shimano double is meant to be at 46mm and the inner 41mm (well, the older 5-arm ones...) Your evidence suggests current 4-arm ones are different: needless to say I'll be avoiding that combo ;-) I can't tell from @.kerley's photo if ring is in outer (better looks) or inner (better chainline) position.

So I swapped to a road crank and I used a 'Wolf Tooth' chainring. It's offset so as to reduce the chainline. With FC-9000 it gives a chain line of 47.5mm (normally it's ~51mm for the outer ring) which is perfect for me as the WI freewheel is also 47.5mm. If you went down that road I guess 47.5mm would be close enough to work with a standard (~42mm) fixed chain line?
