No. You can use assemblies within assemblies. The AM wheels would then be considered a sub-assembly of the assembly you placed them in.

It sounds like the file type is the issue. Inventor (and many other CAD packages) does not handle STEP (.step .stp) ile conversion at the inserting into assembly level. Our rule is to always open and convert the STEP file to a native CAD format, save, and use the newly created file.
