Hanging your DH/FR rig, where to get BIG hooks?

I have a bunch of hooks at home that hangs my wife's XC bike just fine. But I need to find a hook that A) I can fit my tires into (2.7 or 2.5) and B) can hold the weight of the bike without bending over.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hercules hooks. Hahahahahahhaa, I wouldn't trust those, they're about as thick as a needle.
