I am storing my car this weekend. I rent a secured garage. The garage is only 12 feet wide (20ft long) and the 8ft garage door is not centered but rather on the far right. So when I park the car the passenger side is only about 1ft away from the far wall.

I want to do some winter projects and I need to be able to move the car horizontally when I want to work on the passenger side.

I saw this product on ebay but they are only good for tires up to 9inches wide.
eBay Motors: Hydraulic Vehicle Positioning Dolly Car Wheel Lift Jack (item 250188720998 end time Nov-19-07 10:01:48 PST)


Thoughts? Would this work? Would these work on 10 and 13 inch tires?

Anybody have any other solutions? I am open to ideas.

Since you are storing it...couldn't you place some narrow (spare) tires on it, would that work for what you are going to do :dunno:

I made some steel plate dolleys. 1/4" steel about 12"X18" caters all 4 from a True Value. Tack welded 1" angle across so tires couldn't roll off. I've even used them with jack stands on them. 'Go Jacks" makes an expensive set. I only had about 40 bucks in mine for casters.

If you have room to jack up your Viper, you could use some wheel dollys from Harbor Freight. I think I paid about $40 per pair and they will accomodate Viper tires. The Viper is pretty easy to roll on these.
