2) Jack up either the front or rear of the vehicle (that you are working on) and properly support on jack stands.

3) Continue by removing the lug nuts completely off of the wheel

 

4) Install the wheel spacers, but don't use the factory lug nuts because you will use the lug nuts that came with it. Put the wheel spacer on the rotor's studs with its studs facing out. Install the lug nuts that came with it, with the rounded edge facing inside, towards the car. Use your socket to tighten them in a star fashion.

 

5) Re-install the wheel onto the wheel spacer's studs and install the lug nuts, but don't tighten. Remove the jack stands and lower the car, then tighten the lug nuts.

 

6) Lastly, take the car for a ride to verify that the wheel spacers and wheels are sitting flush.

That completes the installation for one wheel. Repeat the same process for the opposite wheel and then take it for a test ride to get accustomed to the new ride and handling.
