Problem with the ul.nav li

I am trying to set the widths of all the elements of the SmellLikeBakin page, but I can't find the right percentage to ul.nav li margin-right

ul.nav li {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 40px;/*40px*/
}

For every number that I tried it breaks the layout, and displays all the <li> elemens one below the other.

Somewhere you may have set ul or .nav to display:inline-block, so I'm resetting it.
