C250 AMG Sport Plus Estate (W204)
Looking to get some winter wheels/tyres and self-fit to my 2013 W204 AMG Sport Plus Estate.

Going to pickup a trolley jack to make the job easier, where should I be jacking given the trolley jack head won't fit the scissor jack head point properly ?

Thanks in advance for any advance.
 
Under the diff at the back.

At the front there is a block between engine and gearbox for jacking.
 
I'd opt for a new low profile jack in conjunction with a "reverse logic" jack pad and use the approved jack points in the sill.

Many diffs have an aluminium cooler which really won't take the abuse of a jack.
 
you can by very cheap jacking pads to fit the jacking sockets.

Here are some suggested dimensions-- can't vouch for em personally :dk: --- I measured the end of the jack dimensions + the circumference of the trolley jack plate and made one out of some waste hardwood :-

Hairy Boy, I know off-topic, but what size of rims did you buy? Was considering a set of rims / winter tyres for my AMG Sport Plus. Thanks.
 
I had the same question. I bought a cheap (£25?) 2t trolley jack and this fit perfectly with the standard jacking points on the sills. As the jack isn't very long I doubt you'd reach the diff.
