That floor jack will fit under your car?

Hockey pucks please. That should be easy for you.

I am not sure a puck would fit along with it. There is maybe 1/2 inch clearance by the front wheel. Maybe I'll raise it some with the scissor jack and then slide it under? |
drive onto 2x4s instead

Good call.

actually now that I think about, the scissor jack was made to allow you to change a tire anyway. Aslong as you do go one at a time and don't lift the car any more than you need to get the wheel off the ground you should be fine with just he scissor jack. It's not like you're getting under the car or anything. I just took all my wheels off to inspect something tonight and I just jacked up one section at a time without bothering to use jack stands. I don't think it's introducing any significant amount of risk aslong as you don't do anything stupid.

I'll admit it, if I am just messing with the wheels or coilovers, I don't stands. I usually do them one corner at a time. With my suspension, I can get enough clearance to remove the wheel and still not be able to slide a stand under my car, even going in through the wheel well.
Although, it would suck if the jack failed while a wheel was off. I might not get hurt, but the car probably would. |
Party is on hold. One rim came damaged.

Stupid UPS.
I knew it was going to be damaged as soon as he offloaded them. It is not much, some dents on the chrome lip, but I paid for new, I will have new. |
wow, that sucks, cooltoy. sorry to see. :(
did the store use heavy duty corrugated cardboard doubled up? ive never had such issues buying wheels from tirerack. :ugh: |
I can't say the packaging was as good as it could have been. Single layer of cardboard.
It's no big deal, they'll take care of me (I hope). Not the worst thing to have happened to me in my life. |
