Default Help fitting 17x11 when jacking the car

My car is lowered, and the jack hits the muffler, so how would i make the 17X11 work and fit?? I have the right 50 mm off set right? What way do you put your 17X11 on

Have someone gently lift the car at the bumper while you slide the jack under the differential. I've done it plenty of times before.

And yeah, 50mm is the right offset for you.

I jacked up one side a little bit w/one jack (to raise the muffler) and the rear of the car by the differential w/the other, I know its common sense, but just make sure not to let the differential rest on the jack by its seams, let it rest on the side where teh drive shaft connects

Why not drive up on bricks like I do. I gives me some extra clearance with the jack.
