Default Stupid question: jackstands/floor jack

I wanna rotate my own tires. So I got a floorjack and jackstands. Where is safe to jack it up and put stands? I don't like the oil pan idea, too scary. Help

yeah if you get behind the car and look down under it you'll see a little metal tab about dead center, jack up on the tab.

and for the front, theres the two tabs by the doors like elite said.

I was trying to lift one side, then the other. Not front then back.

Let me better explain: If I put the jack under the tab at the front of the door and jack er up, there is no way to get it high enough to place a stand under the rear tab. Even if you could get it under there, where are you going to jack the front upto get a stand under the front tab? It doesn't work.

I guess I need two more stands. Get the front on stands then get the rears up on em. Then all four wheels are up in the air.

what page was that on again???

Way too much work. That spare is a pain getting out.

Rather lift it all the way around.

Dude, are those JDM corners or altered clears? The pic angle looks like the JDMs the way the inside reflector doesn't extend all the way flush near the headlights.
