It is much much easier to install with the corresponding wheel off, so I did mine at last spring's winter to summer wheels changeover.
That's how the OEM ones for my old X3 were installed. You had two additional screws that you had to drill into the plastic in addition to using the existing plastic bolts. I'm far from handy and I was able to do it myself. You do need a jack though.
