contact the place you bought from. Seems to be their problem for selling something that does not fit

you may need a hub centric ring

also the rims probably 9" wide and is way too big for the front

You did remove those little lock rings from the wheel studs, right?

dust cap on the spindle is hitting the back of the wheel, inside the spindle hole.
