Seriously,you`l have the floor jack,jack stands,etc,that will need a place in there.
Tim is right. I have a 24x24 shop. For normal sized cars and short wheelbase trucks it's ok but put a long wheelbase truck in there and it is tight in mine.
Consider the length of the longest vehicle you will be putting in there and add 4 or 5 feet to that to have room to pump the floor jack and swing the truck doors open and such. I do have 24" deep shelves at the back wall of mine and down one side. I could stand to have a 30x30 and feel somewhat comfortable. Go for all the room you can afford. The more room you have the more stuff you will put in there. It's inevitable..
