I think you want:
 set shiftwidth=4	(or set sw=4)
 set tabstop=8	(set ts=8)

(but I don't use emacs, so I'm not entirely sure what those modelines do).

from http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/vimfaq2html3.pl (which has already 
taught me a couple of things, amazing what RTFM will do for you :)).
