Changing Tires and Wheels

I've decided it will be far easier to swap out to my summer wheels and tires myself than lugging them to a service facility. That said, does anyone have any suggestions? I'll buy a low profile 2 1/2 ton floor jack. Does anyone know the correct torque to tighten the lug bolts? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

how would you go about mounting the jackstands when you've raised the car?

There are places to place a jack stand for safety. The rear jack point (consult owners manual) will raise the whole side of the car. If you get that AC floor jack make sure you get the rubber pad too.
