If I have a neck with 1 11/16" wide nut what bridge string spacing should I use?

Any of the standard spacings can work with that nut width. Vintage 2 7/32" gives the least margin for error in neck alignment and sloppy playing technique.

Also, some Fender necks with wide nuts have extremely sloped/rounded fret ends. That gives a smoother feel for your fretting hand but with vintage bridge width makes it very easy to pull/push the E strings off the edge of the fretboard.
