Neither a structures person, but seem to recall it's the wing root / wing box that gets heavy for the fuselage loads. Not the wing itself. Understanding what you mean by the possibilities of a completely dry wing, yet remember that on contemporary certification the allowed airborne load is 2,5g. That's where the hydro tanks come to play. Either in absolute measure of mass or as a displacement of payload from ZFW.
