Default newb ramp question

I'm going to finally change my own oil.
I bought some rhino ramps because I've read they'll work ok with a lowered car.

But are they wide enough?
I have 275's on all four corners.
I measured the tires and ramps, and it looks like the tires are larger than the intended area for the tires to sit in.

Will I have a problem?

Your tires might be over the sides a bit but if you even it out you should be ok.

Rhino Ramps are fine for 275 tires. I use them all the time with my 275/40/17 BFG KDW tires.

According to the packaging from my Rhino Ramps, my 275s are too wide for the ramps. To solve this problem I threw the packaging away. No problems since.

That's funny.
