Jack Stand Question

[james1999]

Hey guys so i'm wanting to sell my wheels. However i do not have enough money to buy stocks  i know, i know only($200) but i cant afford rn. Is it safe to put my entire car on four jack stands for a couple of months while i wait for coilovers and wheels? Basically if i sell my wheels it will have to go on jack stands as i dont have wheels to go on the car.... 

 

Cheers

Yes

Make sure you place them under points that can safely take load

The safest jacking point is the pinch weld if i am not mistaken?

They are generally okay points as long as it's not resting right on the sill. Not a fan of the pinch welds myself; they are often squished and rusting in these cars from being forklifted in Japan and I try not to make them worst by putting weight on them. I prefer to use the chassis or rear cradle (where it bolts onto chassis). With 4 jack stands each one will have about 350kg weight so any flat part of the chassis should be okay.

Not a big deal but if you want added security you can also leave the jack under the car at some central point...
