You could jack up the car, remove the front wheels, refit the wheel nuts possibly with washers as spacers, so as to solidly fasten the discs/rotors in place and then support the car on the wheel hubs or rotors, resting on blocks on your ramps.

This way all sprung weight would be applied evenly as is required and you would have room to work. But be careful and leave the jack in place as back up, but carrying no load. I am sure you will understand what you are about.

Of course if you were doing it properly, you would have ths car sitting on a set of scales, with the idea of making load corrections, but that would be getting carried away.
