I have a set like that and they just fit, but do tend to slip. I bolted a couple of blocks of wood to my garage floor to hold them steady.

They should clear but I always use extension ramps so that you dont have to rev too much that you overshoot. That would definitely damage the skirt

Always a bit of a concern, I have my left foot covering the brake when I drive up them, just in case...
