Parking garage circular ramps
I go to a gym that has a four floor parking garagge. The first floor is reserved for occupants of offices in the building. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th are public parking for the gym et. al. I have no problem going up the first ramp to the 2nd floor. But, if the 2nd floor is full and I have to go up the next ramp, I cannot do it without scraping the right rear tire on a small curb. The curb is too low scrape the rim but I'm concern about long term tire damage if I keep scraping it.
Anyone else have similar problems? The Camaros a-- is a little wide. |

I'd be concerned too if my tire kept scraping. The life of it probably won't be as long if it continues to do it often over a period of time. It is wide though!

Either that ramp is very narrow or you are unknowingly taking a very sharp line up the ramp.
 There's circular ramps at Charlotte Douglas Airport as well, I park there a few times during the year on the top floor with no issues. My car is lowered too.

Sounds like you just need go a little more to the left. I can't imagine the spiral ramp tightens up the higher you go.

Was just curious, thanks for responses
I think that the radius on the 2nd ramp must be tighter as I have no trouble with any of the others. Also, I have no trouble going down. It's just an annoyance and I'll watch the right rear for wear.
