Default TForgive my stupid question,but (what are jack points)

Can you jack the car up by the rocker panels,or do you need to go in the center of the rear and front? I am putting on my new rims pretty soon and want to be sure. Thanks

Thanks for this picture. I was asking the same question just a few days ago and got the same answer....I prefer the side lift point than the front/back points.

Also, does anyone know what is the proper torque for the wheels?
