I don't know if I properly understood you question, but I guess you could use bounds.extents. Take a look at these links:

thanks for answering, i think i should put illustration next time in my understanding a bounding box is like a representation of an elliptical shape or the radius from the center to the point. the points position is affected by the rotation of the shape but not the rotation of the point, if it is a perfect sphere positions of the bounding box will remain constant in all direction... i hope im right..."the bounding box is like saying want kind of box will fit everything within it without rotating the bounding box" another link: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/8688/local-bounds-or-not-aabb-bounds.html
