Hi
Around 0.65mm or a little bigger if you can get away with it.

yeah you can gap any plug as long as you have feelers,i only use these plugs cos of my big boost there not the best plugs for day to day as they are racing plugs,regap them to .6 and see how it goes mate as long as they are good condition and rest of system is ok then you shoukd be fine at that
