I've got about 8-9mm clearance on either side at the chainstays--no clearance concerns with 2.6". I suspect you could safely fit a 2.8" and still have reasonable clearance. 3" would be tight, though.
I have the EBB close to 11 o'clock right now. I started with it lower, but clipped a trail gate riding over it and decided to go a little higher. I use 170mm cranks, which makes me think the SWB must have a lowish BB shell height to start with, though I couldn't find it quoted anywhere. Still feels very stable even at that position.
