Ramps HELP

So im tired of jacking my car up cause it keeps bending my pinch welds. So I went to AutoZone to buy some ramps they had the Rhino Ramps there so I bought the 10000 series or w/e because they were wider. Went to the house tried them out and they wouldnt even fit snugg under my tire because it was hitting my bumper. So I took them back they had some 8000 series and I compared them with the
10k series and they were almos identical exept that the 8ks were a little bit shorter but still didnt fit. So im in need of some ramps that will work with my evo any suggestions would really be helpfull. Plz make sure they do work on the car lol plz cause im considering to order these ASAP Thnx In Advance.

Cheap fix....get some wood as wide as the ramp and cut the end of it at the angle of the ramp....should give you enough clearance.

Takata makes some ramps that raise your car an inch or so, enough to get to a different jack point like the frame or something.

Build some ramps yourself with a bunch of 2x8" boards that are decreasing length.

use a couple of 2x6's to get the car up onto the rhino ramps, then use another pair under the rear wheels to rais it up a little more evenly. One 2x6x10 is long enough cut into 4 even lengths

wooden block on the jack = no bent pinch welds.

Here's how to get onto those higher ramps . . . .


OLD PHONEBOOKS.


No lie --- I use 'em! (plus the slope of my driveway . . . )

I use the Tomioka Racing Ramps like Mark@AMS posted.
Especially with my APR CF lip.

I like em alot, they are only about 3-4 inches high and are perfect to get your floor jack under there for the frame jack point.

I can even fit under the car with the ramps.
Barely, but I can.

I use em when I take the car to the shop to get on the lift.

But like they said - some wood or phonebooks [lol] will do the same trick.
