Remove and replace 4 lug bolts per wheel.
The thing you have to watch is the offset.  It should be the same as stock.
The tires you use will be the same diameter on the outside, but the inside
diameter will be greater.  I think you can got to 7" wide.  Maybe someone
can confirm a greater width, but Ithink 7" is the max safe width without
rubbing.
