Default Jacking points for 2015 ATS

I have a recently purchased 2015 ATS coupe and have discovered a bent front wheel. Is it possible to jack one wheel without causing damage?

Since I received no replies I will give the answer that I discovered on youtube. There are hard rubber pads in the center of the cross members between the wheels, both front and back. I placed a hardwood block between the jack and the rubber pad to make sure that the weight was centered on the respective rubber pad. I was able to safely raise the front of the car high enough to replace a front wheel.

Default Jacking up an 2015 ATS to change wheels/tires

I also bought a used 2015 ATS (a 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe) and have been searching for a good answer as to how to jack up the car using a floor jack.. It ;looks like the front wheels can be lifted by placing a wood block between the bottom of the body/frame and the pad of the floor jack. I plan to make a block using 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood glued together to get a 1 1/2" thick block that I can shape to maximize the contact area against the car. If it works well for the front, then I will try to make one for the rear, which looks a bit different. The car does have a notch in the body panel (rocker panel on older cars), that seems to be where most information points you to to lift but you need some sort of adapter. My ATS came with run flat tires so I did not get a jack or any thing to help me change or remove a wheel. I don'k know if lifting adapters are available on the market but I haven't found anything. I will try too make one from either wood or aluminum.

Hope you get your wheel off safely. .
