I know that there is a set of ramps at Advance Auto Parts called Rhino Ramps. They are made out of a plastic like polymer and are a little wider than your average ramps. Check them out and see if they're what you need.

I have the Rhino Ramps and both my cars with the 275/40/17 rubber have plenty of clearance on the sides...

Thanks guys for your replies. I have 275/40/17s also. Jimbo where did you get yours? I live in California and I do not think there is any Advance Auto Parts stores around here. Checked a few places around here but have not seen any but will keep looking.

I have a 2 inch drop, and I BARELY squeeze by onto them. I probably should use a 2x4 or something before the ramp, but I manage by.

Yeah the Rhino Ramps work good with wide tire cars and the slope on them is gradual, the recessed airdam on my Formula cleared so I doubt the TA airdam would be a problem, but I dunno. BTW, dont let the car on the ramps for too long. My header install took a little longer than expected (week and a half) and I could see the sides of the ramps starting to bind about a week after I put it on it, shouldve used jackstands, but hey, it was only supposed to take a weekend.
