Crossed the fronts to back and backs straight up to front. Simple.

If you have directional tires then do not cross just swap backs to front. This will require two stands and a jack. Really cannot imagine directionals on this car though. Waste of money.
Beat me to it.

Just one issue with this. The rotation order is incorrect (check the owners manual).

The fronts go straight to the back. The back tires criss-cross to the front.

RR goes to LF, LR goes to RF, old RF goes to RR, old LF goes to LR.

Can still be done with one jack stand and starting with the rear.
Jack up LR put jack stand under. move LR to RF. Take old RF move to RR. Take old RR move to LF. Move old LF to LR. Remove jack stand. Done.
