Four inches is good. Any farther apart and you have the chance of the sub-floor buckling - even a little - and it will pop up the tiles. A lot of people don't realize this when they are putting down tile, so good thing you know to ask. Be sure to use a fair amount of glue/adhesive on the floor joists just before laying the plywood. If you are planning on using mortar board on top of the sub-floor, be sure to screw that off at 4 to 6" as well. Your plywood determines the tenacity of the sub and the mortar board is placed mostly for water leakage prevention.
Have Fun and Good Luck!

6 inches apart is the norm.

if your talking about cement boards which you should be putting down they have pre made spots where your screws go.
