Default Determining CG

O.K. so I had a good fuselage and good pair of wings from two different planes. Wings mount in same place on fuse as the originals but are a couple inch's wider in chord... and not symmetrically about the tube, more behind than in front.

Seems a somewhat simple question but, where should the CG be? The textbook answer is "at the aerodynamic center of lift" but how do you determine that? It's a wide symmetrical wing, safe to say at the high point? It wasn't there originally...help, I'm confused.
