I think it would be unusual for a manufacturer to make a bass that did not take what most people regard as standard gauge strings, so I would expect them to fit.
You could borrow a friends cast-off strings and check them for size, or you could check out their size in a shop (without marking or bending their string).

You could always GENTLY rub the larger string back and forth in the nut slot to widen the groove. I have done this before and it worked great with no problem whatsoever.
