I tried .028 and it idled like ****, I've got em at .032 now and it idles much better. Seems to be a little bit smoother too.
I'd say anything in the neighborhood of .030 or maybe a little wider should work.

My NGK BRK6E plugs are gapped at .036. Runs like a champ.

I'll weigh in as well.

.032

Idles the same as when the OE plugs were in. (B16A2)

you want to run the biggest gap you can so there is more area for the spark, but there is more chance of it being blown out out if you are running higher psi.
