Changing out the wheels is fairly simple:
1. Loosen the lug bolts on the wheel a bit
2. Jack the car up
3. Remove the lug bolts and the tire
4. This is now a good time to take a look at your brake pads and to judge the thickness of the pads re whether they would require replacing in the near future.
5. This is also a good time to loosen the torx bolt that holds the rotor in place. If possible, remove this torx bolt, apply some anti-seize compound to it and then replace the bolt. It only should have about 6 pound feet of torque applied to it so do not overtighten it.
5. Mount the new wheel and tighten the lug bolts.
6. Lower the car so that the tire is now touching the ground, and use the torque wrench to apply 85 foot pounds of torque.
7. Lower the car completely.
