When mounting rain gutter towers, # Y00101, there is no specific distance apart they must be placed. What you will want to look at is where you can mount them (the strongest points on the roof would be ideal) and how far apart you need them to mount various items like bike racks, canoes, kayaks, cargo boxes, baskets or any other accessory. Just remember that if you place the bars too far back then items on the roof may hang over the back end too much. Same for the front.
In addition to the rain gutters you will also need crossbars. Crossbars come in various lengths. For 48 inch bars use # Y00408. For 58 inches use # Y00409. For 66 inches use # Y00410.
