Default Corvette Ramps

I recently bought a 1994 C4 coupe. I discovered a little problem I'm going to have changing my oil. My ramps won't work. Can anyone suggest a set of ramps I can use to change my oil. I've bought some Rhino ramps at Pep Boys....they hit the little black spoiler part underneath. Also..I have 275-40-17 front tires....they are wider than any ramps I've seen...not sure If that matters or not. Thanks for any Ideas you may have

I put 10 X 2's about 4 feet long in front of the Rhinos and that's enough to lift the air dam out of the way. Once you're up on the lift you can move the wood out of the way and then put it back when it's time to roll down.

They have to be pretty long ~4 feet - I built my own out of some scrap steel and expanded metal I had laying around.
