Not all spark plugs are metric
Normally European cars will have metric spark plugs, but American cars might have an NPT or a UNC thread form, and old British cars might have BSW, BSF or BSP threads.
I guess most plugs are metric though as the famous inventor of spark plugs was a Frenchman named champion.
you will have heard of champion spark plugs right.
the only way to be sure if the thread is metric or not is to measure it
standard metric plugs come in the following sizes
m10 x 1mm pitch
m12 x 1.25mm pitch
m14 x 1.25mm pitch
m18 x 1.50m pitch
good luck
