I am using the relative-line-numbers-mode and a 90 degree turned screen, which makes the text jump when it goes from displaying 100 in the relative number.
Is it possible to set a fixed width for the line numbers, i just need it set to 3 characters.

You can customize how to display the number. For example, define the following function that formats numbers as 003::
(defun jp-rel-format (offset)
"Another formatting function"
(format "%03d: " (abs offset)))
Then customize the variable relative-line-numbers-format to use this new function instead of the default relative-line-numbers-default-format.
You may try other format strings such as "%3d" to avoid leading zeros.
However, I just installed relative-line-numbers-mode and I don't experience the jump with numbers beyond 100. Are you using variable pitch font?
