I am gettin ready to put on new spark plugs and wires. I picked up a set of NGK plugs from O'reillys and am going to order some 8 or 10 mm wires. What do you guys/girls think of thicker wires for my D16y8?

Oh, and this is just a regular tune up, i am not buying the new plugs and wires due to recent sputtering or anything. Thanks

I thought that the thicker the wire was, the less resistance it put on the plug itself. Thats just what i heard from someone. So the best bet would be to go with &mm NGK wires and plugs? Thanks in advance
