floor jacking points, need help plz

hey guys, about to attempt to install my y-pipe and i am using a floor jack to lift the car and then use jack stands. i've already got the front lifted and on the stands. i know that its not really needed to lift the rear, but i would feel more comfortable with the rear on stands also. my queston is, is there any point in the rear that i could use to lift the car using a hydrolic floor jack? i need the points on the side of the car clear for the jack stands. may be a dumb question, but i dont know the answer. thanks for any help

Nothing specific on the jack points, but why would you feel more comfortable with all 4 tires off the ground as opposed to the stability of at least two tires touching?

I don't have a wedge either. I use a small 2 x 4 instead as a wheel chock.
