Default Actual floor jack clearance???

Does anyone know what the tallest floor jack is that will fit under the S2000? I'm going to be working on my car shortly, and as I haven't taken delivery of it yet, I'm trying to determine if I can get away with using the floor jack I have.
I've also got a set of Rhino ramps that I'm wondering if I can use, or if the front will scrape as I'm driving up them.

Thanks for any info.

Your "average" floor jack won't slide under the side jacking rails. But this should not be a deterent for you for the time being. Many of us started off cutting 4 pieces of 2 X 10's to drive the car up onto. I did this for a long time till I found a lower profile jack to use. I still drive the car up onto the wood blocks when I need to jack up from the front and rear central jacking points.

I have rhino ramps and they will not scrap as long as you do not have the front lip.

Nice floor Jack
This one will fit under the side and back of the car. You would need a VERY specialized jack to fit without ramps under the front of the car. I own this jack and LOVE IT!!!!
