Default Jacking instructions needed

I have a 2001 Torch Red coupe and I wanted to take the wheels off to polish the insides of the wheels. However the small floor jack I have will NOT fit under the car. Could it have been lowered? If so how do I check that?

Thanks in advance
Mike

This link should help.

Be sure to use the lift pads/pucks.

And it takes a pretty low profile floor jack to get under one that has not been lowered.
