Roof mounted bike racks compatible with Mini Base Support System

Hello-

I have the Mini roof rack on my ‘09 MCS and need a roof mounted bike rack that will accommodate up to 4.8” wide tires.

It appears the t-track size in the Mini rack differs from typical Thule t-tracks (??)

Has anyone mounted something like a Thule Upride on a Mini Base Support System? (The roof rack Mini sells will not work for me.)

Thanks

Thats a pretty wide tire.

I know rockeymounts hold up to 2.7-3" but get a fattie adapter package and you should be fine. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-rocky-mo...pter/1240~rky/

+1 to Rockymounts. Nothing but good things to say about them. Not sure on compatibility though.

All else fails buy whatever you want and have a local machinist fab up some T-slot brackets. It's literally just a rectangle with threaded holes in it.
