We do have an option for a rooftop cargo box that fits your 2021 Subaru Outback with crossbars that are spaced 30" apart, though the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box # TH78GC won't fit as it is for crossbars that have a 23-5/8" to 28" spread. Instead, one option is the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR.

The Trunx # TRX44FR will fit crossbar spreads of up to 30" though it does require drilling new holes in the bottom of the box in order to utilize its U-bolt mounting hardware. This box does have a bit more space at 9 cu. ft. than the Sidekick, and has a 110 lb capacity compared to the 75 lb capacity of the Sidekick.
