Expert Reply:

This spacing is dependent on your vehicle and what accessories you will be using on your vehicle. Many accessories will have a minimum crossbar spread of 24 inches. There are a few accessories that have a maximum spread like roof boxes and the largest roof box we carry has a maximum spread of 42 inches. The specific vehicle fit will dictate the measurement you are seeking unless the vehicle has the track style mounts. Most vehicles will have specific mounting points that will determine the crossbar spread for the load capacity and then you need to seek accessories to fit that spacing.
