Installing Locking Lug Nuts?

Ok, just got my new rims and tires put on this afternoon. Unfortunately, in all the excitement I forgot to invest in a set of locking lug nuts (tuner-style) for my new wheels.

Say my wheels are already installed on my car, I want to put in one locking lug nut to each wheel. Can I just remove one of the four lug nuts already there and replace it? Usually you must put the lug nuts in a criss-cross pattern to ensure it seats properly. Or should I remove all and re-install the whole wheel?

What torque to tighten lug nuts?

Hey Klam... you can add the lugs any time without loosening the others. Torque to 80 ft lbs.

Oh yeah.. don't forget to re-torque all the lugs after 100 miles.
