Talking Another jacking question

Yes, I did a search. My question is: I want to be able to remove all 4 wheels so I can take them to the tire shop for new tires. I don't trust them with their air wrenches and not scratching the brake calipers, and I would rather remove and reinstall the wheels myself (also a good time to clean the back of the rims). Can I jack up the car using the stock jack and jack points, and place supports (2X8s stacked) under the Pelican Parts recommended support points, rather than jacking up under these points and putting jack stands under the standard jacking points? I don't plan to get under the car, just remove all 4 wheels for a few hours, and I'd prefer not to have to buy a fancy shop jack and 4 stands.
