A wider grip will allow you to directly hit your mid-back muscles more effectively.

On barbell rows how wide would we be talking?[/quote]

That’s something that’s going to be determined by your own body mechanics (longer arms, wider grip, shorter arms not as wide a grip is necessary). A wider rowing grip hits the mid back/rear delts more because of the greater angle it creates between your torso and your upper arm in the contracted position compared to the closer grips where your elbows are closer to your sides in the contracted position, which is more lats.
