Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or just a mom trying to give a badass birthday gift, no one wants to stress about getting your new wheel set mounted on your vehicle. Below is a general step-by-step breakdown on how to install the wheels. We say general because there will be some variation depending on vehicle type, axle type, drive configuration etc- but these general guidelines hold true.
