If you look in the pic I posted of the San Andreas. fault lines can be very very thin. On the order of a meter or ten meters.

It's basically a plane that runs down into the rock. So it technically doesn't have a width at all. What gives it width is all the accessory faults along with it. They more-or-less run the same direction as the fault does.
