Hi all! I think this is a good question...
My three fingers joined together have a width of about 45 millimeters (1.77165354 inches), from nail to nail (that is, I do not have big fingers, but not so small), and with these fingers I always have little room for the D chord on the second fret (wrist fully rotated, hand over the headstock).
There would be a noticeable difference between 1 3/8" and 1 1/2" wide nuts?...
EDIT: instead from nail to nail, maybe is better to measure from center of the fingertip to center of the fingertip: 26 millimeters (1.02362205 inches)
EDIT 2: on my uke, 30 millimeters is exactly the diagonal between 1. and 2. fret on the D chord (4. and 2. string)
