I wish that I had increased the width more. I also wish that I had put the point of maximum width at the trailing edge of the wing instead of near the leading edge. You will get a lower interference drag that way and have more room for your shoulders. I have an O-200 and had to add two inches to the width of the firewall to get a smooth transition. There is no way that the stock KR firewall is wide enough to look right with an O-200.
