You can see here - I used plywood on the top one as I needed the end to be attached where there was no stud, the bottom straight through drywall onto studs at both ends.
The plywood is 1/2" I had lying around and practically speaking I can find no difference in strength in either.

This is similar to what my friend did. He's hanging 4 x 19" wheels/tires from his 911 from there.
Edwen, Either way should work but I think I think there are a few disadvantages to using 2x4's. First off 2x4's are quite thick, so you'll need to use longer screws. There are multiple support points for the bracket (lowside's has 3 on each side) and so you'll need to put up mulitple pieces of 2x4s. Lastly, using thicker wood also means that your bracket will protrude further into your garage, so measure to make sure you have enough space.
