Expert Reply:
As far as crossbar width, there is no set maximum that is set by manufacturers. It truly depends on the models of crossbars they offer for your 2019 Subaru Forester. Accessories that you mount on your crossbars will have different compatibilities based on the width of the crossbars you choose. If you have an accessory in mind, I would be happy to assist with crossbar compatibility.
If you are curious about crossbar length, our fitguide provides compatible lengths of crossbars for your 2019 Subaru Forester that will not violate local traffic laws. If your vehicle has a bare roof, here is the longest crossbar system that will fit on your vehicle:
