Roof Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying ThruAxle Bikes on Roof of 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek  

I need a rail type fork mount for a Crosstrek with factory crossbars. I have bikes with skewers and 3 sizes of thru axles. I have adapters for all 3 sized and 1 adapter for skewer front fork on fatbike. I have round crossbars on my other vehicles, so I cant transfer those Yakima racks to the Crosstrek. I dont want bikes on the back of my car, I want them on top. The only system I think will work is a fork mount with the adapters I already have, unless there is a fork mount that comes WITH adapters for all thru axle sizes. Looking at Yakima Forklift, Thule Outride, and Thule Circuit XT. Would consider others that span a 30inch bar separation and aero bars, and possibly accommodate 4 inch rear tires not totally necessary, I have been strapping tires on fatbikes down to narrow wheel holders for years. All the upright racks have a 3 in tire width limit, so those wont work. I cant use a rack with a clamp that swings up and over the skewer like some Inno models because an adapter would prevent closing the clamp. What are my options? I think I have looked at all you offer.
