Default MR5's?

So I bought some 14'' Mugen MR5's for my 94 Civic Coupe. For some reason they will not go completely on? I am confused on what to do to correct this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mugens are made hubcentric for hondas I.e. most 114.3 for ctr,accord,itr apps(64mm) and 100 for 4 lug civic, integra, crx,del sol(56mm)... It may be your brake caliper that is in the way. Try ebay and search for 'wheel spacers' and look for the very thin ones that equate to 3mm or maybe even 5mm. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by AZTEKEF9 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">ur 14's might be a lil too small and might not clear the caliper bracket....</TD></TR></TABLE> I agreed the first time...
Op, do you have integra brakes on your vehicle?
