roof rack help

I bought a roof rack system (crossbars, feet, and three bike racks) for a ridiculously cheap price from a friend. The problem is, before I go have holes drilled in my car for the side rails I was wondering if the feet will fit the factory side rails. They're Thule 415 feet. The old version of the 450. If nobody can give me a yes or no answer some dimensions of the rails would be awesome. Thanks!

Having just installed my rails, I don't remeber the EXACT dimensions, but, the front of the rails are narrower than the back. The templates are centered on the mountibg screws, and the front was something like 853 mm, 8 hundred53 mm from center of bolt to center of bolt, and the back was like 868 mm If no one chimes in, I can get you dimensions tonight.

OK, just measured mine, and it's 2' 7 1/2" inside at the front, 2' 7 7/8" at the back (inside) and 4' 6 1/2" long, and 1 1/2" high

thanks for the info however I am look more for the dimensions of the actual rail. How width and height would be beneficial considering these feet I got with the rack can only extend to certain amounts.

The rails are about 2 1/2" at their widest point, and they are 1 1/2" at the highest point measuring from the roof of the car.
