Use proper jack stands.

where are you planning on putting the blocks? directly under the rotor? don't do this, lol.

blocks can break and crack.

do you have a jack you can fit under the center jack point?

Better that you ask and realize you shouldn't do it than to do it and regret it.

Just because something works doesn't mean it's a good idea to do...

Buy or borrow some jack stands. Autozone and some other automotive places will even sometimes lend or rent out equipment.

If your that cheap and I'm not saying you are, just go buy a jack with jackstands, use it and then return it. Don't use blocks please that's just super ghetto and also possibly damage your car.
