Default have no idea what im doing just got some new wheels, help asap please!

.. im trying to put my new (not really new, there used) axis reverbs on and they wont go on, im sure its some simple issue, but i really have no idea of what im doing, i can change a flat, and i figured that is all this would be.. 18x8.5 rear 18x10.5 Axis Reverb Rims with front 245 40 rear 285 35 ... thats the info i have on them, i dont know what any of that means..

im at work right now, my front left wheel off and i would like to get this done before my boss starts getting pissed so any ideas would be great.. thanks

Take out the bolt I think it's a 10mm. All it does is hold the rotor on.

they just wont push back very far onto the bolts, it seems like that little bolt is in the way(the one you can take off), when i push the tire all the way back it seems un even.. it dosnt just slide on how it normally would if you were just putting the original wheel back on.. sorry if my info isnt helping.. like ive mentioned, not really sure what im doing

Just remove the bolt. It's there so tire shops don't screw up and put your rear wheels on the front.

This is probably the 100th thread about that bolt. Take it off.

Start buffing, dude. If they're really abrasive scratches, then you're out of luck. If they're little scratches that you can't feel with your nails, get a nice scratch remover or polisher and work it in.

Nope. Paint is paint. Everyday detailing products aren't abrasive or acidic, anyways. Get a towel and buff away.
