I think 16" is standard for 2x4? Then people go further (20" and 24") if they're using thicker lengths (2x6 and upwards)?
You usually measure 16" in a home environment to find the next support.

Centres are usually determined tin the tech specs of the sheet material.
You're not going to go wrong with 400mm centres though.
(You might go wrong with 16", as a lot of sheet material is metric)
Why are your studs running horizontally though?

A question on spacing from walls. I am making my shed walls ,they will be clad with box profile, there is already a steel frame around the top and legs, so I am now building a frame between them to hold the walls. It is is being made of 4x2, and the sheets will be standing vertical. Wall is roughly 5m long and 4m high. I am running horizontal wood which the sheets will be fitted to, and will then do lots of noggins to give vertical stiffness. My question is what centres should I use? i.e. in the very bad not to scale picture, Blue = Steel, Orange = Wood, what should the ? measurement be?
