The measurements should be in the package with the rings. If not do what bigwheel says and contact manufacturer.

Very open ending question. You want the gap a small as possible without the ends EVER touching. This is where the maker comes in. What type of material are they made of, what is the application. Boosted creates more heat, as does nitrous, more gap. Hi compression can mean more heat.....track car or street. At the very least a machine shop that bores, builds, supplies kits should be able to supply the manufactures guidelines if no paperwork on pistons can be acquired.
