Default Spark Plugs?

I have been looking at spark plugs recently for my 2002 coupe. Ive read many of the forums on this site and heard great reviews for the NGK TR55's for a stock vette (which mine is). The only problem is when I go to sites to see if they're available (even the NGK site itself) it tells me that the NGK TR55's are not the right fit for my car and that they recommend the NGK TR5's. Now I understand that the TR5's are a hotter plug and I wouldnt think that I should use those for my stock motor, but for some reason its what all these sites keep recommending, as well as saying that the TR55's arent the correct fit. Is there anyone out there that is using the TR55's and do they work on your vette correctly?

Good deal. You wouldn't so happen to be using the NGK TR55 IX's would you? Or are you just using the standard TR55's?
