Car ramps query
« on: May 26, 2018, 08:26:10 pm »
Halfords have ramps on offer at the moment, do we think an Edition 30 will have enough clearance with these?

The low profile rubber/plastic ones are OK, but those sharp rising metal ones, probably not.

Looks as though those ramps aren't suited to an 18" wheel? Says suitable for tyre sizes: 135 x 10" to 185 x 14". I would be interested in some ramps for mine though, if anyone has some decent recommendations.
