jacking car up

Got some new alloys (thanks ronflat) and just thought, at which point is it best to place the jack?

 

There is a thin part running along the length of the underside of the car that I would expect would fit perfectly into the groove going through the top of the jack. Or is there another way?

 

To change all 4 wheels would I expect to jack the car up twice or 4 times?

 

Cheers

 

Ps try not to use any car body terms as I'm useless with them.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

First do the fronts, just behind wheels once you have one side up, if u have another jack or some blocks, put under the front end on the subframe, the solid metal bit frm wheel to wheel, when u lower the front back down, the suspension should be slightly raised (hopefully) if you try a trolley jack at the front, most zeds are a bit low on the front, its okay putting it up, when when u lower there is a chance the jack will get stuck. the rear is easier.

Make sure you use the handbrake, and a decent jack
