If I get a floor plate one I think 12 will do I’m 6’ tall I want to walk under the car
A lift would be nice! You’d be surprised at how much more room another 2’ in either direction gives you. I think I know what you mean by a floor plate one where you drive up on it. It works good for storing a car over and under but those are not ideal for working on your car as far as changing tires, working on brakes or many other things under the car. My opinion is a 2 post lift is better for actually working on your car. Also, 12’ headroom is very tight if you want to walk under your car. A neighbor put in a 2 post lift and the posts would not clear the 12’ ceiling when he tried tilting them up to install. The base plates for the posts increased the rotating radius by a little more than an inch and the posts hit the ceiling when they were tilted up. He had to get the posts modified to install them. You should check the specs for any lift you are thinking about before you design your concrete floor to see if there is a minimum thickness for installing the anchor bolts for the posts. Good luck with your project!

Just got home. Here's what it looks like with cars. It's packed. I recommend more width, at the minimum.

Where you been at @Jimmy N. ? It’s been quiet here
I've been busy working in my too small garage, even though many consider it large.

Furds can be quite deadly, it seems. Especially after a show.

You always leave early for protection. That's what I did today.
