I am going to change out my winter wheels and tires for the summer set up this weekend. Hopefully the snow in ther NE is now done.

I know the manual shows jack points for the jack that comes with the car, but has anyone seen any info on jack points if you are using a floor jack?

Thanks

I use those jackpoints too for my floorjack. Works perfect since the round of the floorjack fits over the jackpoints.

Good luck changing!!

Btw. I gave my summerwheels a good waxjob and a special coating wich keeps the wax better on the wheels. Works great!
