It is not necessary but if you would like to you can grease the lug bolts so it keeps the lug nuts and lugs bolts fresh and reduces the amount of rust. After you have taken off the flat tire you can place the new tire on the lug bolts again making sure you don't push the car off the jack. Once the new tire is on the lug bolts, you should screw on the lug nuts but you must do it in a diagonal order. For example, if you screw on a lug nut at the top you should screw on the one directly across and so on. You should tighten the lug nuts until the tire starts to spin. Once the lug nuts are all on you can lower the jack by turning the jack handle counterclockwise until the tire is fully on the ground.
After the tire is on the ground you may pull the jack out from under the car and tighten up the lug nuts as tight as you possibly can. Be sure to put the tools away and then you will be on your way ready to start driving once
