Floor Jack Location

I need to remove a rear wheel. Where is the safest place to jack the car using a floor jack?

Thanks

The manual has the graphic......all jack points are marked on the lower ABS rockers with the diamond symbol imprint......find rear 6" or so ahead of the wheel arch....then you have to go under car about 6" to hit only the recessed metal surface.....if you do not go under far enough you will catch the rocker, it will pucker, stop & reposition jack.

I just wanted to make sure the locations in the manual were OK for a floor jack as I do not have a jack pad.

Thanks
