Ok, so im going to paint my stock rims today, I would like to do all 4 at the same time. I have a jack, 2 jack stands and a spare tire. Im thinking the spare tire on the back, then a jack stand on the other side and then the 2nd jack stand on the front cross member...can I do that or do you guys know of a better idea? I have no clue really, thanks a lot.

Don't do that your going to put the wrong type of stress on the unibody..... I say get 2 more jacks or just do two wheels at atime...Or you could jack up the front and put both jackstands on the front... then jack up the back and use the jack it self to hold up the rear..but thats not ever safe..
