The JK arms are roughly an inch give or take a quarter different from the stocks.... ANd why would you think that them bowing toward the tire would give more tire room... The arm bowing in allows for more tire room and less rubbing.

Do they bow "in" more on one end than the other? That's my main question. The reason I ask, is that if it bows in more on one side, I personally think you would gain more tire clearance mounting this side to the frame. I really can't tell for sure from the pic, I may just be blowing this out of proportion. I've NEVER done that before.

The "surco" rack that came with my Cherokee was useless with the three lengthwise cross-members that touched my roof top. So, I decided to improve the rack. I bought black metal bars used to cover windows from home depot to add cross-members to the rack. It took more time and effort than I thought it would and cost me about $80 with the bars and new paint, but it is extremely sturdy and was way cheaper than buying another rack. Basically I just took two sets of window bars, cut the ends off the 10 bars with a sa-zaw, drilled holes into the bars, screwed them into the rack frame, and then painted it with bed liner. It turned out great, here are the pictures:
