The Rambouillet does indeed have a low bottom bracket -- and it was designed for 28mm tires. No matter which 650B you put in there, even the Hetre, there'd be additional drop; and I'm not at all certain there's clearance for a Hetre. On the other hand, it's not just bottom bracket drop, it's the combination of bottom bracket drop + crank length that causes the pedal strike problem. If you used shorter cranks, you could compensate to some extent.
