Default AC Delco Iridium Spark plugs

I got a set of 8 IRIDIUM AC Delco OE Spark plugs for the C5 (i guess they replaced the original platinum plugs ?!). On the package it says "Set gap to vehicle specs".
Do i have to change the gap, and to what size ?
If you have the size in mm (not inches), i would be very grateful.

Thanks

Jochen

Most, if not all, performance plugs come pregapped from the manufacturer.
