My rhino ramps are so old that they don't have the opening underneath for the rubber stopper, and back then they only had the 8800 series. If you center the ramps while you push them into the tires, you won't have any problems with the 275 wide tires. I definitely agree with the advice not to eyeball it and go, pull the car within a couple feet of where you want to end up, place the ramps in front of the tires like you would a chock, then drive up.

To keep the ramps from sliding on the plastic tiles in my garage, I use the cheap foam/rubber mats that Pep Boys sells that lock together, for standing on concrete, they are under $10 for four pieces - use 2 per side.
