Or - go the Thule roof rack mount method and get a known good capacity...which is roughly 80lbs per bar. I just hate having a roof rack - it screws with fuel mileage.

If you use the tire mount carrier, you will still see some 'leverage' on the door, that might be an issue.
As for the roof rack, I see ~1-2 mpg difference across the board for mileage w/my rack (with spare). I imagine that will go down when I get around to putting a fairing on it, we'll see. Good luck!
