Hey guys-

I just pulled quite the bone head move..

I sold my stockers and now I have sold my current wheels.. I am going to replace the current wheels with the money from them, anyway...

I need to pull the current wheels off the car and ship them, which will leave the car with no wheels for a few days..

I have found a guy willing to let me borrow his stock wheels, but he is an hour away and I am semi-considering just putting the car up on blocks redneck style..

I was wondering if anyone has done this and what would be the best way to go about it?

Or would it be ok to let it sit on jack stands for a week or so??

Thanks

Jeff

my car has set on jackstands for a month before. if u place them in the correct points, there won't be any problems

I'd suggest that before putting them on blocks, etc. If you had no other options, I would suggest atleast putting some kind of blankets or cushioning on the blocks not to hurt your rotors, but definitely go with the jackstands; sounds the safest way to me.

Yep yep. Just dropping the rotors on blocks would seem to hurt the rotors.

yeah just put them on Jack Stands. I had mine on Jack Stands for over a year and a half with no problems....

ya I've put mine on jackstands for a few days... I dont think I did the correct points tho... bc one of the back sides wasnt even touching the jackstand... but it held up .

use jack stands...right behind the front wheels theres a jacking point thats part of the sub-frames. same with the rear; right in front of the rear wheels theres a jacking point that is also part of the rear sub-frame

I had my car up on jackstands for 3 weeks during my turbo install. Rear axle, and near the front subframe points. Car was stable and no problems with anything. I had to drop the k-member which is why I had the jackstands behind that area.

what's the big deal.

Just rest the car on the front and rear frame rails.

use jack stands it will be fine.... do not put it on blocks it could mess the rotors up.... if u put it on jack stands in the right spot it could sit for years with no problems... as long as its sopported evenly...
