So heres the deal. Right now my 2 rear wheels have 4/5 lugs on.

Need to bring it back to the shop tommorrow to get put the last lug on. Would the shop need to lift my car screw the lug on? Or is it safe to simply screw the nut on without lifting the car.

Thanks

if it was my car i would get them to lift my car loosen off all 4 bolts then put the 5th in and then slowly tighten them all, if you get me,
so you would need to jack your car up to do that,
you could do that yourself using the jack out of the boot if the shop is going to charge you.

the wheel should be centered already with 4 on, as to your question- yes i think it would be safe just to add the 5th
but if its no an issue do it properly

what i always do anyway if you ever get a wheel changed etc check the wheel nuts a few weeks later just to make sure all ur wheel nuts are tight

yeah, be safe and re-torque all 5 lugs
