Default Changing out wheels

Hi all! I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question, but here it goes:

I got a great deal on a set of 5 new wheels for my JK. Now I'm looking for a new set of tires. I want to have a second set on hand for snow. So, once I have these things, can I install the new wheels (I'd get wherever I buy the tires from to put them on the new wheels) myself? As in just swap them out one by one and be ready to go? I'd like to avoid needing to go to a shop and pay when I want to change the wheels.

Thanks in advance!

As long as you have the room to store them of course you can.

Cool, thanks. That's what I was hoping... so no balancing is required?

The shop that you plan on buying the tires from should balance them free when they mount them to the wheels. If not i would find a different tire shop.
