Best placement for jack to swap wheels
Hey guys... Im about to swap my summer wheels to my winter wheels . This may seem like a dumb queston but what is the best placement for the jack. I have the roller jack (not using the emergency one from my trunk) and I just needed to know where to put it front and rear so nothing gts messed up.

I know when I changed my rear diff lube I put the jack on the rear diff and had both back tires off the ground with no problem. I have heard if you want to pull off the plastic under the front you can use the front diff.

I checked my owners manual. Im gonna use the jack that comes with the car. The manual says there are jack points I should be using. Ill check as soon as I get my EVO back. (Its at the dealer for an alternator belt issue). Are these jack points clear to you guys?

JUst put it next to the factory jack for support.

When you say two tires at a time do you mean I can do the driver side then the passenger side ? Not do all four corners? I'm thinking I'll have to jack at all four corners. I guess I'll find out soon enough. Thanks
