generally traditionally measured at the ends. As defined by Nitto:

So if the bar splays out like a rando bar- it can be like 2-4cm wider at the end of the drops than it is at the hoods.
That being said- it looks like
some companies/stores measure at the curve at the hoods. (so even if the manufacturer measures at the ends, the seller could measure at the hoods)
IMO- it makes more sense to measure at the hoods... but that's just me.
