change the default gutter width

What is the correct way to change the default gutter width ? (without changing codmirror.css)

I tried adding to my HTML:

.CodeMirror-gutter-wrapper {
   width: 50px !important;
   padding-right: 50px !important;
   margin-right: 50px !important;
}

But it doesn’t seem to have any effect
Thx!

The number gutter’s width is updated dynamically to make sure the actual numbers fit. So to change it, style .CodeMirror-linenumber to have, for example, a wider horizontal padding.
