Default 1989 Audi 90... newbi Questions

I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions:

1) How hard is it to replace a starter... Does anyone have a tutorial or a walkthrough
2) I know the rims are 4 bolt but will any 4 bolt rim fit on it?
3) What type of oil does it take?

stater motor fitted from under the car is best ( more room ),

wheels well have a look its all down to the PCD

oil should be 5W/30 semi synthetic but you could go full synth 3W30 or better

I got the Rims and the oil all sorted out. I got a new started put in today yet the car will still not start. It only turns over and clips but the engine will not move. Does anyone have any idea or suggestions?

The Battery has been changed as well....

I know the previous owner screwed with the Distribution Rotor, What should I look at in order to make sure that the DR is installed properly...
