there is no way to answer that. It would depend on the rear end width in the car. On most 11" combos I've seen bs is in the 5.5-5.75" range, but that was after narrowing the rear end the right amount to end up with that bs. Most people get the wheel and tire combo they want, set it under the car, and then measure and order the rear end to fit that wheel bs and size.

If the rear end is in the car you need to measure how much room you have from the axle to the inside and outside of the wheel well and decide what bs is going to work.
