"If the vehicle is to be stored for a
longer period, it should be
supported on jackstands so the
tires are off the ground."
makes me less scared... I think the ultimate solution is crappy wheels just to stand on.
Would these work?

Like he said no. You need 70.3mm for the fronts and 64 or 64.1 or something for the rear.
I guess you could support the hubs too. Probably put a piece of foam between the jackstands and your hubs

Not sure if any of you are familiar with Car Jackets. AMine just arrived from Carbag .com. Shipped to Newfoundland from Michegan. A very impressive product. Car gets covered with soft eom or similar cover, then sealed inside essentially what is a zip lock bag. Moisture proff, dust and rodent proof. All of the other details regarding detailing, windows slightly open, tires overinflated at ouch etc etc all apply obviously. These bags rock if you're storing in unseated areas or are in an area with drastic freeze thaw cycles or areas with high humidity
. I'm on an island obviously so I researched hard and decided on this product. Great guy who invented this thing 35 years ago and is a total car freak.

Today I took it for one last drive, I ran the A/C for about 15 minutes. I filled with V-power fuel and 1/2 bottle of fuel stabilizer, pulled the battery, and I put some pads under the tires. Windows cracked open a bit. I replaced the oil yesterday. It is officially in storage.
