Crossbar Spread of 2011 Audi Q5 for Picking Out Roof Cargo Basket

Question:

I am trying to determine what the maximum crossbar spread can be on my 2011 Audi Q5. I am looking at the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier - Steel - 58-1/4inch x 41inch - 165 lbs and cannot tell whether this will fit on the OEM aero bars for vehicle. Im not able to measure it it currently because I am still waiting for the crossbars to ship. Thank you for any help or guidance you can give on this. If this basket does not fit, I would also appreciate a recommendation for something in the same general size and price range.

We have roof racks that fit your 2011 Audi Q5's factory fixed mounting points like the Thule Wingbar roof rack part numbers # TH711320, # TH710601, and # TH186019 which has a crossbar spread of 24 inches. That would mean that the factory spread of your current crossbars is also 24 inches.

The Rhino Rack cargo basket part # RRRMCB03 that you mentioned does fit a crossbar spread of 24 inches so it would fit and work well for you in that regard. I attached a review video for this basket for more info on this as well.
