Default safe jack stand point ?

as a forward jack stand point does anyone object to easing the car down on to this part of the frame ?
any concerns of structural stress or damage.. both sides ?

many thanks for any and all opinions !

I'd use some wood to help spread the load.

Just making sure that you you're planning to get new tires before you drive that more than a few miles under 45mph in dry weather.

Was noticing those myself, but chose to let another mention it.

yes gents...

i took delivery in tampa and drove thru to dallas on those tires..it is just the fronts.
i wrote of the drive home...
the rears and outer fronts had a lot of meat but the insides of the fronts were smooth so on departure i had a tire shop flip the fronts on the rims and off i drove.
what you see is a massive amount of wear in the 1159 miles home.
"Tramp" hasn't left the driveway since...up on jack stands now.
the latest biggie is two of the rear lug nuts are severely seized..one is stripped and the other sheared/twisted off at the shoulder inside the sepang wheel.
i honestly have no idea what to do about either one and darn sure don't want to see the wheel damaged.

...any thought ?...
