If you are replacing the front tire (with aluminum wheels) with the temporary spare tire, you need to remove the black dust shield.

If the rings do not pass through the holes, remove them from the wheel studs. Save the black dust shield for future use, and ensure the rubber o-rings are removed from wheel studs.
