Car Roof Rack for Surly ECR

Hey all,
just wondering if anyone knows of any roof racks that will fit a 29+/fatbike. I am getting a Surly ECR and want to put it on my roof rack. I have checked the Thule and Yakima stuff, but everything listed only goes up to 2.6 width tires.
I did see the Rocky Mounts rack that has an adapter kit for fat tires, but was just seeing what other options there are

regular rack works fine, assuming you mean the kind where you lock the fork in.
my krampus sits in the tray and the original strap just makes it around the tire... although i usually use a longer velcro strap.

I am hoping to find one where I don't have to disassemble the front tire every time, but if I can't then I will go ahead and get the fork mount ones...assuming they will fit the wider fork of the 29+ ECR

The fork on the Krampus and ECR is regular spacing.
And I would bet if you get a frame grab one it won't matter much. If you get a wheel grab one it might.

1upusa.com. made in Wisconsin and simply amazing racks. With the fat bike spacer kit installed I can carry everything from a road bike to a moonlander.
