Fit In Five Steps

How to replace a Nissan 350z 18″ Chrome Wheel Rims?

1.Secure the Vehicle

Apply the parking brake and put the car in “Park” position. Find a flat, stable and safe place to change your tire. Never change a tire on an incline or hill; always seek a flat surface, even if it means driving on a flat tire. Use bricks, wooden wedges, or metal wheel chocks to block the wheels at the opposite end of the car from the end that is to be raised.

2.Pry Off the Wheel Cover and Loosen the Lug Nut

You can use a screwdriver to pry the wheel cover off. Just insert the point of the tool where the edge of the cover meets the wheel, and apply a little leverage. The Hubcap should pop off. You may have to do this in a couple of places as if you were prying the lid off a can of paint.  Apply all your weight to the bar on the left. This starts turning the nut counterclockwise, which loosens it. Don‘t remove the lug nuts completely; just get them loose enough to remove by hand after you jack up the vehicle. A hollow pipe and a cross-shaft wrench can loosen the tightest lug nuts.

3.Remove the Nissan 350z 18″ Chrome Wheel Rims

Jack up the vehicle about 6 inches off the ground. Take the lug nuts completely off by hand and put them in a safe place — inside the wheel cover or hubcap works well. Grasp the flat tire with both hands and pull it straight toward you. As you pull the flat off, it should slide along the bolts until it clears the end of the bolts and you find yourself supporting its full weight. Roll the flat along the ground to the rear of the vehicle to get it out of the way. Lift the spare onto the lug bolts.

4.Place the New Nissan 350z 18″ Chrome Wheel Rims

Give each lug nut a jolt with the wrench to get it firmly into place, but wait until the car is on the ground before you really try to tighten the lug nuts. Place the new tire on the hup.

5.Rearrange All Parts & Jackoff Vehicle

Give each lug nut a jolt with the wrench to get it firmly into place, but wait until the car is on the ground before you really try to tighten the lug nuts. After the vehicle is resting on the ground, use the lug wrench to tighten the lug nuts as much as you can. Replace the wheel cover or hubcap.
