Default 1989 v12 xjs

Hi guys im wondering if someone can help me. I have a 1989 5.3 v12 xjs and some little s**t has slashed the rear tyre. I understand the xjs is rear wheel drive and was wondering is replacing the wheel as simple as "old one off new one on"?

Sometimes the wheel is hard to get off due to corrosion at the wheel and hub. The spare should be the same as all the other wheels.

If you have corrosion leave one nut just on and kick the hell out of the top and bottom alternately. The nut will save your toes when it gives way suddenly. (Speaking from experience)
