I think they're .100" longer than recommended as far as possible contact with the rear HX. As for penetration, they're actually just about right for extention beyond the lugs or perhaps just a tad short.

You'll want to keep an eye on track tention checking it after 50-100 miles and re-adjusting and keeping it on the tighter side of spec if you start to see nicks in the HX or tunnel.
