Default long term storage question

I have a 68 Mustang that, unfortunately, has been sitting in storage for many years at a 3rd party facility. Last time I saw it a couple of years ago all the tires were flat. Due to the fact the storage place is not convenient and local to me, I want to go out there at some point and pull off the tires and rims so I can prep for a future visit and come back with new one's so I can finally roll it out of storage and get it back home. I only want to make one trip to pull the tires, so I am asking here if for recommendations on whether I can just use 4 standard jack stands to set the car on when I take the tires and rims off, and if so, where is best location for the stands? The floor is concrete, if that's a factor. I just want to make sure whatever I use I can get ahead of time so I don't get out there and not have the correct stands on hand. thank you

Just use a floor jack and one jack stand and do one wheel and tire at a time. There is no need to get the car up on four stands to change the tires.

I don't think you read my question correctly, or as intended. I am not looking for advice on how to change the tires, I know how that works. I am taking all the tires off it, and it will be a long period of time before I put other tires back on. So I want to know the best method of keeping the car stable as it won't have any tires on it. thanks

Under the rear axle and under the jack points on the side rails up front and it will sit there just fine for the duration.
