Test fitting wheels without tires?

[fiziks]

Quick / retarded question:

How do you guys test fit your wheels without tires mounted? With the suspension compressed. I think I saw a picture or two with a 4x4 block laid underneath the wheel. That safe?

yea i would use a jack, a piece of wood, and some rigid foam insulation or a towel just to absorb any pressure. easier to jack the wheel up by turning the coilover to the softest dampening setting then lifting, rather then resting the car on the wood. imo
