For lat width, chins.

For lat thickness, rows or deads.

i normally do three sets of chins then alternate each week between one arm rows(back parallel with floor pulling dumbell to rib area trying to keep shoulders/back fairly static through movement) or barbell rows. although chins are harder than lat pulldowns get someone to give you a spot and they will get easier. imo chins along with dips(for triceps,shoulders) are two of the most unused exercises! they are hard because they work

Agree with all thats been said here, but you should try doing stiff arm pullovers (concentrating on the negative and bottom position) at the end of your back workout one day to really stretch the lats out, ill put money on it you'll be in agony the next morning.
