I am planning on converting a Giant XTC composite from GXP BB + X7 2x10 to XT M8000 1x11.

Wondering if anybody knows what's the Shimano BB size do I need to get for the conversion?

I guess I am also worrying about maintaining proper chainline and prevent the front chain from hitting the chainstay.

The front chain will be 32T.

Thanks

Just a normal HTII 68-73mm BB with relevant spacers (2 drive side one non drive for a 68mm shell and one drive side for a 73mm shell).
