Most sites recommend the 118cm bar on the estate, has anyone gone for the 135/150cm, apart from maybe over-hanging a bit are there any dangers?

As far as I know it doesn't exceed the laws on vehicle construction and use so nothing legal but why would you need them so wide?  

Should say illegal

The wider bars won't fit because the slots for the feet are too far apart.

 

118cm bars fit anywhere on the rails with 757 foot pack, the 135cm will only just fit across the very front of the car, 150cm, not at all.

 

118cm with foot pack 757 fits rail spacing 87cm min to 110cm max.

Roof rail spacing approx 105cm front, 100cm rear.

Thanks for that, I was thinking of going for the 775 feet, I guess that would be the same.

"The Thule 775 sits 2.5 cm lower on the roof compared to the 757 foot pack, thus reducing the height of the load. In most cases this will also reduce drag and wind noise."
