Quickjack is the safest way. There was actually a GT350 owner who tried what you attempted and the jack went through the drywall. This is primarily why I only purchase homes with a single door garage. However, quickjacks have made very easily to work with. However, it will be a tight fit to work on the side that has the drywall. I hate how they thought to develop with 2 separate doors. PITA.

This is the answer , but the lift I have access to is an hour away first world problems.

I have Steeda jack rails and they work awesomely.

Put the car in the middle of the garage and tell the misses she is parking outside. :-)

If I did that and she didn't chain the jack stands to her car before going for a drive, I couldn't respect her.

Two self lifting wheel dollies on the wall side and use your floor jack to place the other two wheel onto basic dollies. Then push it to the center.

I've jacked up a car in that narrow of a spot. As other mentioned, angle the jack. Use shorter swings of the handle so you don't hit the wall.

And remember to watch the end of the handle when lowering the car so it dosn't do this and get stuck in the wall. LoL

She's not the problem , getting the car in the middle would be .

Someone also mentioned a scissor jack , which is probably the answer .

Problem with that for some may be the ~6" needed ground clearance.

I assume you have a support post in the middle of the garage floor to go along with the double doors?

I hate how my home is built like that, I know why it is but its the only draw back I have to my home, the double doors and the support post/beam for the floor about the garage.

This is probably the most intelligent post I've ever read on this forum. You must be amazing at tetris. lol.

I've jacked mine up dozens of times in this exact scenario. Wall on one side, my tahoe on the other. Just angle the jack a bit. Be careful and pay attention tho with the jack angled if you go really high the jack can't roll itself under as the arm pivots, and will cause the other side if already on jack stands to want to lean the jack stands. Every couple pumps just wiggle the jack a little and it will scoot itself under, and bend down to peek at the other side jackstands to make sure they're not starting to lean.
