Default Cargo box on OEM crossbars

I have a 2016 LX570 with the OEM crossbars. The crossbars came installed on the further back set of holes, but the spacing is to too large for the Thule cargo box. Is it okay to move the rear crossbar to the front set of holes to mount the crossbar?

Perfectly OK...that's what the wing bolt things at the ends of the crossbar are for. Locate the cargo box to make loading and unloading easiest.

Did the Thule Cargo box fit with just the standard mounts/clamps?

Thanks,

I can’t speak for Thule but the Yakima box fits my 2017 LX with OEM crossbars with the only adjustment moving the crossbars.
