Hey there ..

(1) First of all it's almost impossible to use Google "sketchup" for video games.. It will never work. SEARCH on here for 100s of questions about it. Read them all for more info.

You must use something like Blender or Cheetah3D or $$anonymous$$aya.

Do not use "sketchup". It won't work.

(2) Be aware that wheel colliders are INCRDIBLY difficult to use. You basically have to have $$anonymous$$ASTERED all of video game program$$anonymous$$g to use them. Be aware that to make a car rig can easily take a year of work. (ie if you're already an expert

(3) LOO$$anonymous$$ on the asset store for many car rigs and car related products. Buy them and use them

(4) SEARCH on here for a huge number of questions about wheel colliders. Read all. Be awrae it is a very advanced topic. You will have to completely have mastered casting, surfaces, colliders, terrain, etc etc to even get close to using them - it is not easy

(5) There is a full and very complete car tutorial that Unity supplies

Just to repeat, you basically can't use "sketchup" in game engines, so you'll have to start over in Blender, $$anonymous$$aya, Cheetah3D or the like.

Or very simply BUY a car model for a few dollars, or find a free one.

I hope it helps!
