Most of these comments are pretty sidetracked. Here's my advice:

I wouldn't jack the car up on the side from anywhere other than the recommended jack points. As has been mentioned, they're reinforced and made for it.

- Forget about the pinch weld (it runs through the jack point and will bend if any weight is on it there, too, so it's really irrelevant). If you're jacking on the side you'll need an adapter or whatever or it will bend, period.

- If the point of your question is lifting 2 wheels at the same time for changing tires (the only way I can imagine it being "easier"), you can lift both front or rear wheels using the points above.

- OR.. I'm at work and can't confirm, but I would guess you can lift it from either of the side jack points and get one side high enough to pick 2 wheels off the ground.

Beyond that, I can't think of a reason to jack the car from any other point.
