Princess Auto has a sale on car ramps, starting Feb. 18. Two different ramps. One provides a 21/2 inch lift (9000lbs) and the other 61/2 (12,000lbs). Price is $25 and $45 respectively. These are great prices from what I have seen over the last year or so. I don't know the width of the ramps or how accommodating they would be for the wide tires. That can be checked for those interested.

tyho?
Do you have a link? I looked at ramps on PA's site, but didn't see a sale.
If you're getting them for the Corvette, make sure the angle is enough to clear the (low) front end .
I opted for Race Ramps for this very reason.

I got their flyer Friday. Showed the specials starting Feb. 18. Try going on their website. I'll have to measure the front drop vs. the ramp angle before buying as my car is also lowered by almost 1 inch.
The product numbers are : 8792301 and 8792327, price $$49.99 (13,000lb) and $24.99 (9,000lb). Hope this helps.

Strange, since I got the info. right from their flyer. Maybe it's not in their system yet as the sale starts on the 18th? I tried it on the website as well and these didn't come up.Best thing about PA......you can take it back....anytime!
I tried both part numbers in their search.

The low profile option would be your best bet.
The others are similar to those generic, steel ramps you see in every corner garage. Our C7's don't like them!
Edit: I just read the specs! 2.5 inches of lift is not a whole bunch!
Check RaceRamps. I love mine.

Your Vette doesn't have a hope of climbing that higher ramp without the front end binding on the ramp. I have a 13 inch lift on 7 foot ramps and I still have to use two 4 foot 2x12's to ramp me on to my ramps so the front end of the chassis stays clear until the tires get enough lift to allow the front to clear the top edge of the ramp. In other words, my air dam is just under 3 inches off the ground. I measure horizontally back from the top edge of my ramp to the point where it's a 3 inch drop from that level. That's where I have ramp myself up to before my air dam clears the ramp edge and my tires ever hit the real ramp...lol...
Much like trying to climb any incline driveway off a flat surface.
