So basically I have 2 circles. A smaller one inside a bigger one. Kinda like a tire. But the problem is, when I group and then unite them with a rectangle, the inner circle disappears instead of uniting. How do I change that?

Uniting a shape with another when the bigger one totally covers the smaller one, the smaller one disappears totally.

Unite is intended to combine shapes to one when the shapes cover each other only partially or not at all.

Unite means the same as union in the set theory.

If you want to keep the smaller circle you can add it after uniting the bigger circle with something. If you want a hole, subtract the smaller circle from the bigger.

Not very clear what you're doing but, you can copy Ctrl+C the inner circle, then do what you're doing then hit Ctrl+F and you'll get a new inner circle in the same position.
