If this is just a regular spark-plug change and you have had no problems with fouling the previous set.
I would recommend Bosch Platinum plugs of the same heat range that you are removing. If however, you have had problems with fouling plugs, I would recommend that you go one heat range hotter plug. The folks at a good parts store can get you set up with correct stock number.
I use Bosch in my daily driver as well as my racing engines.

Bosch, NGK and Nippon-Denso spark plugs are all good.
Champion is a good plug as well.
I have just had really good results with the Bosch.
If you are changing plugs, think about new high quality wires at the same time.
Accell makes a good wire.

I'm not sure of the exact millimeter but you should go with iridium spark plugs. I put them in my 2002 civic and again in my 2005 accord. I got about 2 mpg extra, only thing is you have to dish out 12 bucks a plug instead of the normal 2 bucks.

easiest thing to do is to go to your dealer so as to get the right ones for your vehicle, beware of parts stores like AutoZone as the selection that they usually carry will fit a wide variety of applications, with this you easily affect gas mileage and performance even though in may seem to start and run ok. I am a firm believer in always going to the dealer for any tune-up or electrical related parts. and one last thing, if your car happens to still be under warrenty for some reason and needing spark plugs and you put something other than factory in it, most manufactuers will void your warrenty, just words of caution

The auto parts store can help you with that and if you are installing them, you need to gap them (if they still do that). They have the info on gap size for auto model and year at auto parts stores too.

Go with the NGK platinum or Iridium. They're a little more expensive, but they last longer and improve gas mileage.
