Yeah I mailed Dimarzio directly asking about this subject and what pups would be best for me, and they emailed me richt back after half an hour (now that's fast). This was the reply:

I do not know if your information about the depth of the pickup cavity is correct. I have attached a diagram showing the dimensions of our F-spaced humbuckers, which should be of assistance. The V7 and V8 are not high-output pickups, and it would be wise not to change to louder pickups if you want to avoid a muddy tone. You might try an F-spaced Norton (DP160F) in the bridge position and an F-spaced PAF Joe (DP213F) in the neck position. Neither pickup should pose any problems in terms of height.

So I think I will go with the Norton on the bridge after all.
P.S. If anyone is interested in the diagramm, let me know
