    i have a F355 Ferrari, I need to get the front right wheel off to get to the battery compartment. I have a dead battery to get charged back up. I can't find a jack with a low profile enough to get under the frame. thanks for any help ok.

    Turn the front wheels to the right and slide the jack between the front of the right front wheel and the wheel well.

    Go to WalMart and buy their little grey 1/2 ton (or 1 ton?? Just the smallest one). Take the wheels off (Cotter pins) and it will slide right under your car to the jack points. Twenty five bucks! End of thread!

    Sears has a good low profile jack, but not worth the $150 unless you need to use often. There is an often bought aluminum one at Harbor Freight for $70, but they've only lasted about 2 years of heavy use with me. Both are low enough for the Challenge.
