Most modern spark plug makers pre-gap the plug at the factory. As long as you have the correct spark plugs for your vehicle they won't need gapping.
Gap is listed as 0.044 inch, (1.1mm).

Spark Plug Gap - AutoZone

This is the gap between the inner electrode on the end of the plug and the metal part near the electrode attached to the plug housing. There are many different versions of plugs, but this is the most common, and the plug and plug gap must be correct for the engine in which it is installed. In most cases, this gap is set correctly at the factory and may only need to be checked, not changed.

I'd use the type spark plug recommended by your owners manual, the manual may also give you the gap. There may be a decal under your hood that gives this info. Anywhere you buy sparks will have the gap in the info. For one ngk plug I looked at, it said .043in gap.

Different spark plugs manufacturers may have different gap recommendations.

Anywhere between. 038 to. 042 would be the right gap settings.

If it wasn't misfiring before. Make sure you have the proper gap on the spark plugs. Make sure you have the wires connected in the correct order. If you have the old wires, you may want to end up trying those one at a time to make sure you don't have a defect wire either.
Thank you,

If you're replacing the spark plugs in your car engine, you'll need to set the gap before reseating the spark plug. The gap is the distance electricity arcs between the ground electrode and center electrode. The gap must be set correctly to ensure maximum performance. Here's how to set the gap of a spark plug.

1. Remove the spark plug wires. Use a socket wrench to remove the spark plugs from their chambers.
   
2. Clean the spark plug if you are not replacing it with a new one. Remove all dirt and debris from the spark plug.
   
3. Check the owner's manual for your car (or any appliance with spark plugs) to find out the recommended gap setting.
   
4. Use a gap tool to check the gap of the spark plug. Slip the tool between the ground electrode and center electrode. The gap tool should fit snugly at the recommended gap width indicated on the tool.
   
5. Push the tool between the electrodes a few times to ensure proper gap. If the gap is too wide, push the ground electrode firmly against a flat surface to narrow the gap and then check again with the gap tool.
   
6. Repeat Step 5 as necessary until you reach the correct gap. Reseat the spark plug and reattach the spark plug wires
   

Good Luck
