Many preferences are shared with java tools, but the preferences are read from 3 places. So you can override any setting that is shared with a groovy-specific value. For example you can add a line to workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.ui.prefs

eclipse.preferences.version=1
...
org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.tabulation.size=8

The preference names are listed here: https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/blob/master/ide/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.refactoring/src/org/codehaus/groovy/eclipse/refactoring/PreferenceConstants.java#L61
