Yakima rack mounted (M 1 - 4 measures)

Okay so I mounted my Yakima yesterday and instead of the 18 inches I spread the bars 30.5" apart. I have a 9' 6" longboard to carry.

My question is with the differential of the Q Tower spacing, front versus rear. The front bar is recommended to be 36.5" while the rears are supposed to be 37 3/8ths or so.... the rear bar's rubber feet don't sit as solidly as the front...

Would it be an issue to have the Q Tower spacing the same on the rear as the front? I'm about to try it.

TIA

Dave

Okay, I mounted both bars with the same spacing and now it's more sturdy AND I can open the sunroof. :-)
