far / wide
'weit' and 'geräumig' can both express that there is a lot of space. 'weit' is often used for clothing or for something that is not tight or narrow, for example 'ein weiter Pullover' (a loose sweater) or 'ein weiter Eingang' (a wide entrance). 'geräumig' is used mainly for rooms, apartments, cars, or bags when they offer a lot of space. It sounds more positive and more precise when you mean usable space. Pants are more likely to be 'weit', while an apartment is more likely to be 'geräumig'.
