 A time line is a hard thing to say because if you want to keep the friend then it depends on when they are ready to see you dating the ex. Talk to your friend soon and find out what they think about the situation then go from there.

 Or, when the best friend gives permission and is still ok with it after 2 months of consideration. So: ask, wait, and then possibly abort mission.
Or it could go like carrot said, and you'll need to find a new best friend as the best friend might be awkwarded out by the prospect all-together.
