Sorry to ask these questions but. Just spent the day cleaning and waxing my cup wheels and now ready to remove winter wheels and put the summer wheels on. A few things I need to know. Does it matter which side of the car the wheels go on? Tires are Bridgestone REO50A 225/45/R17 and 255/40/R17. I assume there is not a directional issue? The tires don't seem to have any rolling direction, just front and back. Also, what is the torque I should use? And finally, I assume the exposed metal just ahead of the rear wheel is the jack point where I would put the floor jack pad?

Again sorry about being so inept! I've changed a flat before but never used a floor jack and never changed wheels out on something like a porsche. Figured this is something I should be able to do even with no skills.

Thanks,

 

Here's a link to a DYI how-to on jacking up the car.

Tirerack does not say that your tires are directional and they don't look like they are either. I didn't see a directional marker on them when I look at the pics on tirerack, so I think you're ok on that.

 

From memory those are not directional, so you are free to mount on either side.

94 ftlb is the require torque for the wheel nuts.

 

What a great forum. Everything I needed in two posts. Thanks Steven and Inka.
