Not sure what plugs you are talking about. The only ones that need to be gaped are the old school ones with the single arm. They should come pre-gapped. The other ones with 2 and 3 prongs do not need gapped.

If you didn't buy those plugs already, just save the money and go with NGK plugs. I use them in all of my cars and I believe they are the best. I used to use Bosch as well, but I was never too impressed with them. I guess they are focusing on making other things rather than spark plugs. All of the NGK's also come pre-gaped.

+1 for NGKs, they're often the correct gap.
It never hurts to check the gap before installation.
