I just bought a new condo and when I drive down the driveway into the garage by car bottoms out and scraps badly. Does anyone know how to raise the car slightly to avoid scraping?

 

have you tried pulling in sideways?

 

20" rims and 245fronts 275rears :-) i had to do it

 

^+1 on his comment and try to pull in backwards maybe?

 

I tried backwards and side to side. I guess I need new rims and/or shocks.

 

That happens to me every time i enter the parking garage here at ASU. I cringe so bad when it happens.

Try pulling in/out with your tires turned all the way.

 

What does 245 fronts and 275 rears mean?

 

going in front or backwards makes no difference its still the same exact clearance both ways i have physically measure the difference for suspension sake....haha

 

Eventually you should wear enough away of your bumper or whatever is scraping for it to stop completely.

KIDDING, bad idea.

Move somewhere else maybe?

KIDDING, bad idea.

Not really sure on this one, is there a lawn or something you can drive across ot get into the driveway? I used to have to do to that at my house wiht my old car. Pull onto the sidewalk/lawn via my front driveway and drive down to the side driveway. Kinda pathetic....but it worked.

 

get 22's. porblem solved. haha

 

tire size it will give you about an 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch height

 

he's referring to tire size.

 

Thats how wide the tire is... Its the fatness. I really wouldn't worry about how wide it is, but how wide the sidwalls are...So the second number usually being a 40-45. It would probably have to be a 75 for you. That would make it look like your rims are wrapped around balloons though.. Your car will look ugly.

 

those are 275's in the rear with no drop on my car...

 

its about 2" of tire....maybe...too lazy to go out and actually measure
