some bars have different spacing for the rings though
I know the bars my gym uses are actually a lot narrower than most bars, so when I first started going my grip felt really weird until I actually took the time to notice the grip
at this point if you gave me a bar with no rings, I could probably close my eyes and feel the "right" width for me. there is probably some ratio as to how wide your shoulders are and how wide your grip should be, to help minimize stress on the shoulders. It seems to me a very wide grip could cause a lot of stress... and a very narrow grip would just be a lot of tricep, which would not HURT you but might not be that great of a chest workout
