I would suggest you get yourself a rule that has 64ths on it. Then measure just below(about a third) the mouth of each nut slot. It will give you an idea if your strings will fit without any nut filing.

Roto tapewounds are .065 -.075 -.100 -.115 which means rounded to the nearest 64th: 4/64ths(1/16th); 5/64ths; 6/64ths(3/32ndths); 7/64ths G-D-A-E.
