Thanks
Sure thing!
First, a couple links. Here is a link to the harbor freight lift: HARBOR
And here is a link to the rollers I used:
AMAZON AMAZON
If not available, Amazon has several alternatives. Nice that there are mounting holes on the base of the rollers. The lift has holes close enough on the pads that I did not need to drill anything! Just added one bolt each (see photo)

All of these products look like they could be helpful but I just wanted to say that I have removed and remounted tires on my vettes ( as well as other vehicles) hundreds of times and never damaged the threads on a single stud. This includes an eleven year stretch of racing with my C5 every Wednesday night in the summer and swapping the rears from street tires to slicks and back again. I had close to 400 runs documented for my C5 so that is nearly 800 tire swaps. Just an FYI!

12" rims/tires and carbon ceramic rotors with 1/4" clearance are a totally different story.

Ya buddy. Messing up a CCB rotor is $1,500 to $1,800. I bought the lug extensions and have the foam rotor pads as well.
