I change tires often for autocross and it is common to lift one side using the rear side lift point to do both tires. This is also how I have the local tire shop work on my car using a floor jack.

Note, make sure you bring the lug tools you need for your car. That includes the splined driver if you have the original bolts from Lotus and the locking tool if you have the locking bolts (and you should replace this!). If you have replaced these with a stud kit, bring in a thinwalled 17mm socket as they may not have one.

My preference is to actually pull the tires off myself and take them loose to the tire shop so I am in control of the mounting on my car.
