Default ? About TR6 spark plugs

I went to change out my original spark plugs today with some NGK TR6 plugs, but the threads on the TR6's are twice as long as the originals. I am S/C and I read that the TR6's are the plugs to get. Is anyone using these plugs and ran into the same problem? Are there any clearance issues with the pistons because the plugs are an extra 1/2" into the cylinders?

I didn't look at them because I had a shop install everything. TR6's have been fine so far and no problems on my ProCharged '00 GT.
