"Should" is the key word, though. Some older homes have wider spaces, and fireplaces sometimes do as well

i think older homes typically have smaller spaces? i thought building codes were relaxed to allow bigger spaces between studs? am i getting that backwards?

I could well be getting it backwards. I was thinking that there wasn't so much standardization 50-100 years ago and that 20-24 inches were more common, but that could be my area or just one of those things that you hear so much that you think is true.
