I would say it's sufficient. Obviously more space is always better.

Gud,
My bay is 20' wide with a bendpak xp-10. I have a 10' wide door centered in the bay. What I noticed as I stood the lift up and got ready to install was that centering it in the space was good but if you look at where the lift actually touches the car and where the lift aligned with my garage door I could easily off set it 12-16" in either direction. I offset mine with the power unit side closer to the wall so I have about 6' clear on one side and 4' on the other. just a thought.. YMMV

4' should be adequate. I have more on one side and less, unfortunately, on the other side.
