Correct Size Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars for 2016 Subaru Forester with Raised Side Rails

Question:

Ive been researching this roof rack for my forester and this is the only place Ive seen that recommends the 47inch cross bars rather than the 50inch including Thule. Id really like to buy the 47inch option because my raised rails only measure in at about 39inch apart and I dont want to have a ton of overhang. So I just want to make sure: is recommending the 47inch bars instead of the Thule-recommended 50inch is an intentional decision based on fitting them to the 2016 Forester? That would be great news for me if so, I just want to double-check so I dont buy the wrong size. Thanks!

I checked with Thule and the correct size Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars for a 2016 Subaru Forester with factory raised side rails is 47", part # TH711200 which can be installed when used with the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars part # TH710401.
