Unfortunately, you will spend more energy attempting to side gap your plugs than you will save by doing so. The benefits in your application are virtually nil.
All your mixture needs is a spark. It doesn't have to be particularly big. It just needs a spark at the right time.
Hot ignition systems, side-gapping, and other ignition improvements are necessary for supercharged, high-compression or high RPM engines where the increased cylinbder pressure results in increased resistance and an overall hostile environment to electrons shooting a gap. The stock ignition system in your application is more than adequate to do the job as it comes from the factory.
If you buy four NGK plugs as specified in your application for about two bucks apiece, gap them properly and install them with a little anti-seize, plus install the new cap, rotor, and wire set from the other thread, you're good to go for at least another 30K miles when you should take a look at the plugs.
