I spent most of the weekend cleaning and organizing, mostly in the garage. Goal is to get everything off the floor on the "low part" (all but the front 3' of the garage which is raised) except cars. I am close, but need to a way to safely store wheels and tires on the wall. For starters lets just assume four 17x11's with 315's will need to fit.
Here are a couple solutions I have found. 1. Sold by Tire Rack. Not sure it is quite wide enough.

Howdy,
2x4 rack for me, at my old shop. Total cost is about $30? I dunno. Build it out of scrap junk laying around. Being on a sheet rock wall doesn't make any difference, it just means you need to screw a couple horizontal 2x4's to the wall (into the studs please) first. If you want to be trick, use the 2x4's on the wall as supports, with a length of pipe in a u shap (welded or joined with fence/plumbing fittings) bolted (so that it can swivel) on the bottom one with some chain to the top one to stop it at horizontal to the wall. Then it can swing outta the way if you really want. If you want to be able to put anything up there, make it a U shaped dish using some plywood for the bottom. Then you can put bare rims, tires, or whatever up there. And the tires won't get stuck between the outside pipe and the wall, making them harder to get down. If the tirerack or dark horse racing racks were $50 or $75 or so it might be worth it for the less hassle factor, but as I recall they cost significantly more than that. Mark |
