have you measured the knock offs? are they true 40mm?
Like XRACER already stated, just cuz they said its a 50mm fender, does not mean thats all you can get out of it. When you install the fenders, you can push the bottom in, to bow out the fenders and give you more than 50mm. Thats why its alwasy a good idea to get your wheels/tires on the car first so you can make the fenders fit the wheel setup you have. You can look around and get an idea around here but ultimately, its gonna have to be up to you.

Its also a good idea to make sure you're alignment is good in the rear, specially make sure the camber is even on both sides. Last thing you wanna have is have a -5 and a -2 uneven camber when you try to put on the fenders. Shits gonna throw off your install.
