Default New wheels

I just picked up a used set of wheels/tires (Thanks Steve!) and I'm hoping to put them on one night this week, just as soon as the rain stops!
If the assembly washers are still on the wheels studs when I take off my stock wheels do I need to take them off before I mount the new wheels?
Thanks
Tony

Assembly washers? Are you just talking about the ones that hold the brake rotor in place during assembly? Or something else? If it's just the 3 that hold the rotor in place, you don't need to replace them, but you don't need to remove them either. Most people just leave em alone until they do the brakes.
