Mounting Larger (50" wide) Surco Rack

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to mount one of the wider Surco racks to factory jeep roof rack rails (the rails, not the cross bars, I know those suck). The default size for the XJ is 45x60, but I really want a 50x72 so I can take up more (all) of the roof and fit 4x8' sheet goods occasionally, at least the full width of them. I'm not worried about putting a huge amount of weight up there, just a 33" spare and a hi lift.

I haven't seen a good close up picture. Is it possible to still use the J100 mounts with the larger width rack, or do they only attach to the edge of the rack?

I know the Surco isn't the best rack out there, but the price is right if I can get at least 4' width and the mounting is easy.
