If you have 2 old or stock axles your not going to use anymore, bolt those to your rims.
Put each tire and axle on 2 separate floor jacks and roll them under the car into the wheel house. Take a piece of mild steel pipe in a diameter that you can slide both axles into (1 1/2" pipe) and do just that under the car. From there, you can position your tires and rims exactly where you want them in the house, using the the floor jacks to fine tune everything. Once you have them where you want them, tack the axles to the pipe so nothing can move then measure from the outside of the axle flanges. Depending on your rims, you might be able to leave the tires on and everything still under the car. I'll look on my camera to see if I took a picture of this setup when I did mine. Works outs perfect.
