I cleared Aircraft X to land on runway 12R. NCT vectored Aircraft Y behind Aircraft X and applied visual separation correctly. As Aircraft Y was flying faster than Aircraft X; the NCT controller called me and asked if I would move Aircraft X to runway 12L. I told him that I would do so. I instructed Aircraft X to change to runway 12L and cleared him to land. The pilot replied 'Unable'. I cleared him to land on runway 12R and told NCT to put Aircraft Y on an approach to runway 12L.Aircraft X checked on and I cleared him to land on runway 12L. As Aircraft X completed his landing roll; I instructed him to hold short of runway 12L for landing traffic. As Aircraft Y completed his landing roll; Aircraft X said; 'Be advised; we're sticking out a little onto runway 12L'. Aircraft Y heard this and said; 'That's OK; we won't hit you.' I should have advised Aircraft Y to give Aircraft X more space so they could both land on runway 12L. Furthermore; had Aircraft X informed me of his position; I would have had time to instruct Aircraft Y to go around.
