Yeah, the plugs will be hot as $34%&. When I do an oil change I drive around for about 10 minutes or so, giving the coolant gauge time to come up to 180 plus a few minutes.
Then I jack it up, it gives a little time for the exhaust and so on to cool down some.
If I was combining plugs with an oil change I would let the car sit for a while, a few hours, to cool down before doing the plugs.
Taking the rear wheels and the front inner fender liner will give you plenty of room to do the plugs.
Alternately, if you didn't want to wait that long you could jack the car cold, do plugs first, then run it for 10-15 minutes to warm the oil, then drain and do oil change.
I prefer method 1 and hotter oil, I always let it drain a long time. It keeps coming out, it will surprise you.
