Newbie Question on Wheel Install
I've got my stock 17" wheels in the garage and since it's now winter I am going to slap them back on my car. The one catch is .. I never denoted which wheel was previously at what location on my car. Now that I want to put them back on.. I am wondering if there's an easy way to look at them and figure out which one should go where (basically a delayed tire rotation). Any ideas? Anything to look or in tread wear or should I not worry about it much and just slap them on where ever? I am planning to do this one myself but I don't have a hydraulic floor jack or jack stands.. probably going to go pick these up (brand&model recommendations welcomed).

If the wheels are non staggered then it doesn't really matter unless the thread is directional. Look on the inside of the tire because it wears quicker than the outside.

Reinstalling wheels / tires
All that said, and especially if the tires are "directional" be sure the wheel tire rotation is correct.
I suppose the next time you'll mark the inside of the wheels/tire with a yellow tire marker so the current set will be returned to their original locations.
