as far as i know 11s are only the limit if you're tuned to standard tuning. you might need to add a spring in the back i play 11-54s on a floyd with 5 springs in e standard so 12-54s tuned to B should be fine.

I've just got a Floyd 7 and I'll be putting a 58 into it. It's down to the manufacturer I suppose, some of the licenced Floyds have slightly different dimensions.
