for most people grip width tends to change based on preferences, injuries, focuses, etc
I am curious to hear from Ausbb about their grip preference
Personally, I noticed I feel stronger with a closer grip

Always been around 30 inches between index fingers which is close to the maximum permissible width in competition. I'm about 181cm or so tall but I wouldn't consider that my arms are excessively long. My chest circumference is quite large however and I know how to elevate the sternum properly so the range of motion on the bar is probably not as great as it is for non-mutants.
 
Index or middle finger on the rings.
I'm nowhere near as strong with a narrower grip, wide grip has dictated my benching style
