Default How to gap +4 spark plugs

I got new plugs, and i decided to go for overkill, with the bosch platinum +4 plugs...



Now the question is... How should I go about gapping these? Obviously I can't fit a feeler gauge in there... Any suggestions?

Is it even necissary? I did a visual chack and they all seam fine...

Thanx

They do come pre-gapped. You would be much better off just getting some cheap NGK V-power plugs.

platinum plugs are for plug longevity, not performance. my neighbor had them in his GSR and hated them. i had bosch platinums (not the +4) in my gen2 integra and it was horrible. use NGK R coppers.

Take those back, they're crap, had nothing but problems out of them in my turbo car. Get some NGK V powers.
