I have an earlier but similar version of these

https://www.harborfreight.com/1300-lb-capacity-self-loading-positioning-wheel-dolly-64601.html

They work great with 245 tires but anything wider doesn't fit.  Are there other versions of these that will support cars with 285 and 305 tires?

Perfect but ugh on the price.  Even for the pair that's 2x the normal size

Yeah, that's a lot of money1

Can you modify your existing dollies to fit?

I just gave up on the self loading style for my C6 Vette and I use the regular cheap Harbor Freight dollies.  Also less likely to damage the wheel.  The downside of course is having to use a jack to get the wheel off the ground.

Yep. I'll just use a separate jack and the $65 HF ones.

Summit sells 12" wide jacks for $150 each, which is a little better
