jqGrid don't provide any API to change the column width after the grid been created, but I created the plugin which do this. You can download jQuery.jqGrid.setColWidth.js from here, included it after jqGrid JavaScript files and then you can just use new setColWidth method in the form

$("#grid").jqGrid("setColWidth", colNameIrIndex, newWidth);

The method setColWidth will adjust the total grid width after changing the width of the column. If you don't need it you ca add false as an additional last parameter of setColWidth:

$("#grid").jqGrid("setColWidth", colNameIrIndex, newWidth, false);

Additional details about the method you will find in the answer and in this one.

Probably you can write your code so that the width of columns will be set before the grid will be created. In the case you will don't nee the method setColWidth. For example you can try the demo from the answer (see the previous answer too). If you changes the width of some column and then reload the full page you will see that the grid will be created using the widths of column which the used made at the last time. Is it not close to your requirements?
