Jan -
The Busch will handle a 55 - 60ish mm lens but not the Speed because of film to flange distances. The Busch's design makes shooting wide much easier. You are outside of rangefinder range with both cameras shooting wide and into composing/focusing on the GG. I use an Adapt-a-roll, which can easily take a 120 feed spool and has a big 
live image area.

Not much info onthe net I can find:

I have a Miniature Speed Graphic, this is the 1939 version. The standard can be clamped to the stub end of the track in the camera box but focusing of a WA lens would be a PITA. In the Pacemaker 2x3 Speed Graphic the camera box end of the focusing track is coupled to the track so that wide angle lenses can be focused using the focus knobs. My 4x5 Speed Graphics will all take a 65mm Super-Angulon on a normal lensboard and focus to infinity with it. There should not be a practical limit for the 3x4 S.G. or Crown Graphic. In the 4x5 cameras the back of the lens will hit the ground glass before its at the minimum point on the focus track. I don't remember how the Busch cameras are set up. I had a 4x5 Pressman years ago but the same burglar who got my Cord IV got that too.
