- Place the spare tire on the wheel mounts. Once the wheel is on, tighten the lug nuts by hand. You’ll tighten them with a wrench later.
- Lower the jack until the car is back on the ground, then remove the jack.
- Use the lug wrench to tighten the lug nuts as firmly as possible. If the lug nuts aren’t tightened firmly, then the wheel could fall off of your car.
