Expert Reply:
Yes, the Thule aero bar roof rack you have that uses bars like the current WingBars part # TH711420 from Thule can be used with a roof rack tent like you mentioned. The 165 lb weight capacity of the rack is a dynamic capacity which means it's how much weight it can carry while travelling where there will be bumps that will greatly exaggerate the weight. So the static capacity would easily be enough.
