Description
For Tires the Standard Cribs Cannot Take: Race Ramps 12″ Supercar Cribs
A 335 section rear tire does not fit a standard wheel crib. It overhangs the cradle on both sides, which puts the load on the edges of the block instead of across the tread, and it looks wrong sitting there even before you think about whether it is safe.
The Supercar Cribs are the wide answer. The cradle takes tires up to 16″ wide, four inches more than the standard 12″ crib, on a body 16″ across. The tire sits fully supported instead of perched.
Lift is 12″ to the cradle with an overall height of 13.25″. Each crib carries 1,500 lbs, 6,000 lbs max vehicle GVW, and weighs 9 lbs. Solid foam with a traction coating that grips a finished floor without marking it.
Sold in pairs, for tire diameters 24″ to 30″. If your tires are 12″ or narrower, the standard 12″ cribs cost less and do the same job. See all wheel cribs.

Supercar Crib Frequently Asked Questions
Do I actually need the supercar version?
Only if your tires are wider than 12 inches of section width. Measure the widest tire on the car. If it is 12 inches or under, the standard 12 inch cribs give the same lift and capacity for less money. If it is over, you want these.
What if only the rear tires are wide?
Common on a staggered setup. Buy the supercar pair for the rear and standard cribs for the front, or buy two supercar pairs and use them all round. Mixing is fine as long as each tire is properly supported by the crib it is on.
Is the capacity higher too?
No, it is the same 1,500 lbs per crib as the rest of the range, which is plenty for any car. The upgrade is width, not load rating.
Why is it 13.25 inches tall if the lift is 12?
The cradle is dished, so the tire sits down into it. Twelve inches is the height of the cradle floor where the tire rests, and 13.25 is the outside height of the block including the raised sides that locate the tire.
Can a supercar climb 12 inches?
This is the real question, because the cars that need 16 inch cribs are often the lowest cars on the road. A crib is a step, not a ramp. If your car will not make the climb, use ramps to raise it first, or call us and we will work out a combination that gets it up safely.
