Hello I'm curious if anyone got some info on the average shoulder width?
Also curious how much it differs with height. I'm quite thin, my shoulders are only 45CM across, however I haven't visited a gym in years so there is some room for improvement.
I am 178,5CM and I weigh about 60-63 Kg for reference. Will my build be able to support a height of 183-184 without looking frail and thin?

I doubt it does. I'm 5'2 and everyone tells me I have wide ass shoulders. 
Maybe I'm an exception.
I will measure my shoulders when I find my rouler. 60-63kg is not much for someone your height, perhaps you should put on some mass.
I myself used to be quit thin but I never went below 69kg´s at the same height, I put on 5-6 kg´s during the last year due to the gym and an apropriate diet. Many people have told me that I appear much broader now eventough my shoulder width only increased by a tiny bit. Your legs will be thicker as well, so it´s even harder to tell then.
5-6cm´s of additional length shouldn´t be a problem though since not many people are attentive to proportions anyways.

Yes I've got some room to widen out, though I've always been a bit thin. My concern is if I will have the width to carry a height like 184CM. Will try to measure my dads shoulders, his are noticeably narrow for his height.

I bet if you did a 6 mth to a 1 year bulking/ mass building program you might not even want to do CLL at that point. From where you currently stand, aesthetically, it is 10x more beneficial for you to add muscle and size than height since you are already a pretty decent height.
I have the illusion of wider shoulders from hitting the gym, so I can attest to the benefits of weight training.

Right, exactly. I might be 50CM across after a year or two of serious bodybuilding and that might be my limit anyway. So you can see my issue.
I think your problem is that you are just too slim, 63kg is realy light for your height. Just put on some kilos and you´ll be fine. I ´m 12kg´s heavier than you at the same height and I´m not fat at all.
As soon as you put on some muscles and fat your shape will appear broader in total, not just your shoulders. Getting thicker arms and leggs is beneficial when it comes to hiding your LL.
Shoulder width could be improved a lot gaining muscle mass. If you are only 63kg for your height you could change this measurement by a good amount centimeters

Thanks, I do have a light build but I don't look like I'm starving or anything. What would be a respectable width for someone who is 183-185CM then?
