Jack stand points

Besides using the pinch rails, are there any other spots you can safely lower the car down onto jack stands? I've tried searching but all I get is jacking points which I know.

I was using the pinch welds but 1) don't like putting them there because my jack stands are flat and it rests on the weld 2) I just put side skirts on that now cover part of the weld so I will end up digging into the side skirt.
