1 1/2" required

Could not get my whole hand through in places, to wrap hand around bar.

Guess I need to measure my hand

Note that the 1-1/2 inch off the wall spacing for grab bars in A117.1 is a fixed dimension, not a min or max, there are concerns about injury if the spacing is excessive and a forearm slips behind it.

Recalling a code change proposal for a maximum distance off the wall that did not make it for handrails
