Compatable Rhino Rack Ski Rack for Subaru Aero Crossbars
Question:
Can you check how far apart the mounting brackets are on the 4 snowboard, 6 ski rack. The bars on my car seem that the spacing can’t be farther apart than 26.5 inches on the back bar and 27.5 on the front. Do the mounting brackets have an option to adjust further in to fit on a crossbar with a maximum length of 26 inches across?

I went out to the warehouse to measure the clamps on Rhino Rack Ski Rack # RR573 and found that it was approximately 4" from center-to-center of the screw holes, with the screws themselves being 1-1/2". The clamps are roughly 1/4" thick, so the bars on your Subaru Impreza will need to be less than an inch high. They will also need to be roughly no more than 3-3/4" wide. I've added a link to a video review of this rack, as well as a link to each of our Rhino Rack Ski Racks.
