01031 Folding Adjustable TireLoft

Find the stud and drill your lag bolts in. Super easy and holds a lot of weight. My Jeep snow tires/wheels are NOT light and it’s had no issues keeping them 7’ in the air.

I loved this product so much that I bought a second one for the other side of my garage. The design is a little confusing at first but works really well once you figure it out, I didn’t even need the instructions for my second time installing it. My biggest tip is to make sure all of the nuts and bolts for the folding mechanisms are tightened enough. They come very loose to allow for easier packing and install but it is an accident waiting to happen if you don’t tighten them up after install.One negative thing, HOWEVER, strangely enough the bracket for my second set had one shorter than the other 3. I have attached pictures. This caused the arm that holds the tires to extend at an angle and would not allow the arm to sit flush with the wall mount. I have already installed the entire thing but I’m requesting an exchange and I will just remove the correct sized bracket and replace it on my mounted product. Otherwise, this tire rack has a ton of flexibility and options and can even hold my large jeep wheels (unmounted) off of the wall and has held them for over a year strong.

TL;DR: Great rack for the money with some manipulation and different hardware. Drill 3/16" pilot holes. Do not use an impact to drive the bolts into your studs; you will risk shearing them. Use a ratchet/socket combo.Easy to assemble and install assuming you have the proper tools.To answer one of the biggest questions regarding tires hitting the wall: they do not. But I guess it also depends on your size tires. The wheel/tire combo I personally have on it are the factory 18" wheels from a 2018 Subaru WRX Limited with the OEM summer Dunlop 245/40R18 tires. As seen in one of my photos, there is approximately 1/2" rear wall clearance.As for the included hardware, I did not use their 3" lag bolts. I spent the extra money on 6 3/16"x4" stainless lag bolts with 12 matching washers which were approximately $20 at Lowes. I used 2 washers per bolt; 1 on the head of the bolt and 1 in between the rack and wall. These seem much more durable than the ones that came with the rack. Cheap piece of mind.As for overall quality, I'm sure there are better made racks out there for more money. The main 'gripe' I have with this rack is the inconsistency of the folding arms. When both are fully extended, the front of the rack is not 100% level. However, I can assure that the main supports that bolt to the wall are perfectly plumb and level relative to each other. I used a laser mounted level and a spirit level to confirm. The problem lies within one of the articulated arm bolt holes. The hole, either on the right or left arm, was drilled either a tad too high or too low - depending on which way you look at it. (The right side sags a tad too low or the left sits a bit too high.) To remedy this, I drilled out the right arm hole a bit larger to make room for adjustment and then re-tightened. I do not plan on folding this rack so I'm not concerned about the folding joints being tight.My OCD got the better part of me since I wasn't able to perfectly center the rack in between my garage windows because of stud location. But it worked out for the better since my garage door track would have gotten in the way anyway.Mine is mounted 78" from the floor to the bottom of the main arms to ensure adequate clearance of my big head. There is approximately 8" of clearance from the top of the tires to the ceiling.

A little flimsy, several of the bolts had apparently come loose during shipping. Once I got it all bolted back together it seems it will do ok for my purposes(motorcycle tires)

Great solution to free up some floor space. No problems fitting 255/40/17 on 17x10 wheels.Only gripe that I have is that the hardware does not include washers. They're probably not required, but in order to protect the steel tubes, and to better distribute the clamping force, they really should be. Not a deal breaker, and overall it's a really solid product.

Looks good in my garage. Saves floor space.

Overall, the rack is well executed, the quality of material and manufacturing is good. The unit comes mostly assembled which is pretty nice, they could have send a bunch of parts and left assembly to the purchaser. A couple of caveats and recommendations:Other reviewers recommended "higher quality" hardware, with longer lag bolts. I purchased some longer lag bolts, 4.5" x 5/16". Do not use the recommended pilot bit of 3/16", it is too small, the hole was so tight I ended up shearing off one of the Lowe's bolts, producing a lot of extra work. The better pilot bit size is 7/32", it still made the bolts plenty tight enough, but greatly reduces the likelihood that you will shear one off while tightening.One item lacking in my opinion was washers, I put flat washers on every bolt they provided, i.e. the six lag bolts and the four bolts holding the horizontal tubes, I think this substantially improves installation strength.All of the pre-assembled hardware uses nylon lock nuts and all of them were very loose and needed tightening. Do not over tighten or the rack will not fold, but they were so lose that many of the nuts weren't even fully seated on their bolt, and there was a lot of slop.Some asked whether tires will hit the wall or not, others complained that larger tires definitely would. I'm inclined to agree, the larger tires I put on the rack are 25.5" in diameter and with the two horizontal tubes spread at their widest holes, my tires are barely clearing the call. Still, I don't think it would be a problem to have them touching the wall, just don't expect some oversized truck tires to work well.Finally, I'm a "belt and suspenders" kind of guy when it comes to engineering, there are a lot of potential points of hardware failure on this rack (regardless of overall quality), I'm going to assume one of them will fail some day. At least one other reviewer complained of a failure that resulted in his tires falling from the wall and doing substantial damage to his vehicle. As a backup, I sank two very large eye bolts just outside the upper corners of the rack and used two steel snap links to then secure a sturdy loop of rope that I have run through my wheel hubs and to each eye bolt. If the rack ever fails, I'm confident that the rope and eye bolts will catch my wheels/tires and prevent damage to the vehicle parked just below. A couple of bucks for some easy insurance in my opinion.
