With much help from Jess and Andrew - until Steve came to take Andrew to the dyno day - a tyre rack has been built, tested and proved functional at my new place.

It was always going to be hard downsizing garages by moving house and I was really struggling for room.

Thanks Jess!

Step 1. The tyres are in 2 stacks in front of those shelves on the right.

Step 2. It looks like it works...

Step 3. Testing.

Step 4. Rack 'em.

Step 5. Make use of extra space by putting car in garage!

All up cost about $150 including 3 new drill bits (about $30 there) which I can obviously keep for future use.

THATS A NICE RACK

[Sinful]

whats the wall made out of?

Just your basic gyprock and timber joist/studs....

We put 6 bolts into each of the studs that we could find in the wall

Dodgy builders were suppose to be 600mm aparts and some werent but what can you do

Quite heavy with all the tyres and rims up there

Lollipops and nursery rhymes... well ok, it's made from plasterboard and has timber joists and studs. The rack is only attached where there is a wood backing behind the plasterboard which is why it looks there is one bit missing (where I am hanging from it); ie there isn't a stud behind that part.

Every Skyline owner should have one.

Yup. And now you know we can fit another 50-60 tyres in your garage.
