Unless your feet are extremely angled in or out on the pedals it is not possilbe for your shoes to hit either wheel while traveling straight ahead. When you turn you should coast.

Okay!
First you need to know that you have all the parts needed to put it on.
The List:
--Both left and right crankarms (right side has the gears)
--Axle installed into the frame (no? take it to a bike shop... specialty tooling is required to put them on and there is no way to fudge around it with general tools found in most homes)
-- Two nuts or bolts that thread easily into the axle ( check that they do by threading them in by hand)
-- A ratchet handle and thin wall 14mm socket
Method:
Hook the chain onto the smallest gear and slide it onto the axle arm until it stops, give it a light tap with your hand to make sure that it's stuck on, thread on the nut or bolt that fit onto the axle and thread it on until it touches the arm (already on).
Sit the bike upside down, or on a stand so that the crankarm can swing freely in the air. Now take the other arm and put it on with the pedal at the top, facing away from the frame, tap it on with your hand and thread the other nut or bolt on with your free hand.
Grab the ratchet and tighten both nuts with enough force to ensure that they won't come off ( try picking up a 50lb bag of something with one hand as an example of the amount of force needed, that should be enough force to keep them on).
Carefully take it out for a test ride then come back and let us know how you did!

The front wheel axle fits into the fork, there is a U shaped notch in each fork leg at the end of the fork. There are two washers with bent tangs on them that fit into holes just above where the axle fits into the fork. Slide the washers onto the axle, one on each side. the tangs on the washers should fit into the small holes above each U shaped notch that the axle is in. Next screw on the nuts supplied for the fork. The tire should be centered between the fork legs before you tighten the nuts to secure the front wheel to the fork.

in my tips and tricks page is a link to Huffy manuals, they are the same as your roadmaster, download a manual for a bike that matches your bike and you will be good to go.

No, but a bike shop can assist you in selecting and fitting a stem with a higher rise.
