I'm not getting under the car, just have to take the wheels off (one by one) to add spacers.

I know the floor jack will likely suffice for the amount of time the car is lifted, but I prefer to have a safety back up.
For me, if I'm removing the front left wheel, I will place the jack under the front left mount. Once it's high enough, I'll put a jack stand under the rear left mount and then lower the vehicle onto the jack stand so there's weight on both the jack and the jack stand.

Removing the rear left wheel? I'll do the opposite.
