I can't put rear wheels on.

[PandaMeister]

I have a Carrera GT and i just put the entire car together. But now I'm at the last part which is the rear wheels, which I just can't put on. Help?

If I remember correctly, in order to install the wheels that car requires the rear drive axles to be installed, which requires the engine and trans to be installed. Other than that, just make sure all the brake parts are installed.

...not sure about this specific car but some require the suspension link that looks like a dog bone...its easy to miss (right near rear spring if it has one)

I am assuming the Carrera GT as a rear drive with a rear engine.

When you assemble the rear suspension, make sure you can see all the parts that is highlighted install those parts and you will see the wheels being highlight.

Carrera is wishbone rear, so hub bearing and axle need to be in place before wheel goes on, upper arm and shock can be fitted after wheel is on but better to have everything in place and wheel last. (Obviously brakes need to be done) Look for ghosts in mount mode.
Outer tie rods need to be in place before wheels can be fitted, for front and crossmember RWD.
If that is not the problem, strip that section down and rebuild, it maybe just a glitch.
and the old turn it off and back on...move to parking/garage.

If you are playing in regular mode, you can highlight missing parts in the car info tab.

Did you remember to balance the wheels? That machine next to the one you put the tires on. I sometimes forget to do that.

Yep over 1.5k tires balanced and I still do that too, usually serves as a reminder that it's time for bed ;-)

It helps to have a routine, specific order how you take the car apart and put it together every single time. That way it`s literally second nature without thinking and you never forget anything.

Concur on the routine as an aide to not missing steps although its not fool proof. I tend to alternate between trouble shooting jobs and rebuilds. Sometimes the routine bites me in the butt when my brain is on automatic and assumes I already did something since I am on step x. That failure mode got me the oil spill award.

I start with replacing the body. Then I replace the exhaust, engine and stuff in the engine bay. Then I take the wheels off. If the back ones are different from the front, the back ones get fixed. Then the suspension starting in the back. Replace the drive shaft as I head to the front.
