Be prepared for some major back pain. Stretch/flex your legs , body, arms before you do anything.

Read your owner's manual on how to change a flat tire. They explain it pretty well and also don't forget that you should tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern.

break the nuts loose first before jacking the car up.

lol! Burnination! Not that I can talk, I'm still rolling on hubs for at least another 2 or 3 weeks.

After you change the rims, if you like 'em, may be a good idea to get them balanced and tightened again after you drive 'em a bit.
