Default Roof Box + Bike Rack possible?

Getting ready for spring time

got my OEM Porsche roof rack installed!




I have the bike rack purchased, but does anyone know if I can use the bike rack together with the Porsche Roof Box 320, whic i believe is the smallest box available OEM? Will I have enough space on the rack? Or if this doesn't work, is there another box from another manufacturer that is smaller and can work together with the bike rack? something like this?





thanks

You need a narrow box in order to fit also a bike.

You can easily calculate by checking the box dimensions. In order for a bike to fit in your racks the box should occupy maximum 60% of your racks.

I have a narrow box from Thule and it works fine with my bike although I do not have yet a 911.

I have had a ski box and 2 bike trays (either side) on a Subaru Outback. To make this work (and one bike on the 991) you may have to remove the bike in order to open the box. If you are happy with this, the bike and box can be very close.
