From what I've read shoulder-width bars are what's always been suggested as it's supposed to open your chest and ensure your lungs aren't squished.
Adam Hansen reckons that's bollocks and goes narrower for less frontal area. TT positions with arms in suggest lungs aren't getting squished even if your arms aren't wide apart. I guess the answer is to do what's comfortable. I've got 44s which are right according to shoulder-width, but I think they feel too wide. Can't be arsed changing them, so I'll stick with it.
