An alternative to the 90mm f5.6 Fujinon or similar f5.6 wide angle lens would be the Rodenstock Grandagon 90mm f6.8 has a rear element diameter of 60mm, should just fit.
This is one of the fixed-given trade-offs of the Linhof Technika lens board. Yes, they are small, they impose a hard limit on what lenses can be used.
If the largest aperture 90mm lens is a must, two lenses fit this requirement. 90mm f4.5 SW Nikkor (Nikon) or 90mm f4.5 Grandagon (Rodenstock). Either lens
has sufficient image circle and optical performance to work on 4x5 at f4.5, both will demand a different camera due to the diameter of the rear element.
