Re-install is basically the opposite of removal. However, as you tighten up the lug nuts, there are a few tips:

Tighten them in a "star" patter, rather than in a circular pattern. This ensure more even tightening.

Lower the car once they are snug so the tires are on the ground.

Finish tightening them with a torque wrench to ensure they are on tight enough. Your owner's manual should specify the tightness required.
