I did a bonehead move
I need some help from someone who has done a Opel Astra V8 DTM.
OK, here it goes. I was in a too big of a hurry to put the wheels together and I lost track of which ones go where. I mean does the fat or the skinny wheels go in front. I feel like a jackass

Did you try looking at the instructions? The skinny wheels have to be in the front, I think

Are the rims for the front more narrow than the rims for the rear? the narrow tires go on the narrow rims,easy, if that doesnt work, look at the box or the picture they have of the completed model on the first page of the instructions, if that doesnt work, then go to the gallery, someone built this car before, if that doest work then flip a coin!

 How new are you to cars? The skinny in front, then the rear have the fat tires, saying that's a rear-drive car!

The newer 2000 DTM cars are all rear wheel drive so the wider tires and rims should be on the rear. The older DTM cars(like the Alfa 155) were 4 wheel drive and all tires and wheels were the same size.

So the DTM Astra is that much different from the BTCC one (that one is FWD)
