I have some harbor freight ones that clear without issue. Have you tried putting a couple short lengths of 2x4 in front of the ramp to get a little clearance? If it works that's a cheap fix.

I made my own ramps from three layers of 2X10” boards. Yes, they’re heavy, but they won’t collapse.

Yeah. I bought an affordable heavy duty plastic set from somewhere, way more than adequate for the flyweight Fit.... (Autozone? WalMart? can't recall, as I hate both places 
) They work fine on both ends of the GK, no clearance issues at all <edit> OK, I went and checked, apparently they're some form of Blitz USA ramps, bought at WalMart, according to a sticker on one of 'em … they work just fine. All bets are off if you're car is lowered

On stock ride height, the truck rated rhino ramps from advanced auto work well, from Product Features:

- Provides reliable and convenient access to the underside of your vehicle as well as nestability for maximum storage space
- CoreTRAC non-skid base helps reduce slippage
- 17 degree incline provides easy use for low clearance vehicles

- For use with tires 9" in width
- Made in the U.S.A.

those look like Flatstoppers i have from raceramps. but those look like more for people who don’t have low profile hydraulic jacks.. just raising the car enough to get a jack under there. you can do that with a piece of wood for like $0

I bought the Rhino ramps as well and used them for my one oil change to date. No issues.
If you want to jack the car up on wooden blocks THIS is how it's done (although I'd design the blocks to accommodate a hydraulic jack):
