Since people comes in diff sizes I prefer to tell them that their hands should come down just outside their chest at the bottom of the movement.

I go just inside shoulder width. Anything closer for me and my wrists would explode.

I get the best tricep isolation at about a 6-7" gap...when i extend my thumbs they are within 2" on the bar. But it does mess with my wrists a little bit more, especially at 185lbs+
