If your neck is straight, not tapered on the sides, then the spacing can be the same. I shoot for just a hair wider at the bridge than the nut myself, but you don't want the strings too close to the edge of the fingerboard for playability reasons. Of course if you are using bolts or threaded rod, then the spacing is the same if using same size threads at each end.

It's all personal choice - on 3 string guitars I I use 12-13mm (1/2 inch) spacing at the bridge, and a wee bit less at the nut on a 35mm wide neck.
