Default need a hand...actually a spare tire

anyone not driving their S right now that could loan me their spare tire?

I dont trust discount tire enough to drop my car off and not have them screw up the body work so i want to take the wheels off and just take those in. I have no idea how to get the car's front end on jack stands so i was thinking of putting the front on spare tires and then lifting the rear and leaving that on stands. I have the stock spare already but would need a second one to make that happen.

The tires wont be driven on, just sit stationary in the garage for a day or two while the tire monkey's do their thing.

can anyone help me out with this?

if it helps, im in Kent off of 212th. I can pick up and deliver your spare back to you.


thanks in advance

I'm in Renton on talbot near 212. Got an extra set of wheels that you can sit them on or the spare.

Just will need them back by Friday. Or you can use the spare for longer if you need.

Btw to jack up the front you can use the front jacking point near the radiator.
