I use the yakima Q-tower system, works pretty good, but it chews the **** out of the paint on the doors.... so I use weather striping and 3M clear bra to fix that! lol

yes, yakima recommends 16'' between the bars, but the farther back the better.

Q-towers, and 48'' cross bars, go to yakima.com and they will have a "build your own" I bought mine at RackAttack used for like 200 bucks including everything.
