Make sure you have the car safely supported under the jack in case it slips,check that the wheels spin ok and steer from lock to lock without fouling the body or calipers

Don,t forget to give the nuts a final turn when the car is grounded(the wheelnuts that is

A good trick is to put a wheel lying flat on the ground under the edge of the car while you are changing, you alloy might get damaged if it slipped but you and the rest of the car are less likely to get damaged.

Remember to tighten up the nuts in the correct order corner to corner etc.
