Default hx rim hitting front caliper on 94 ej1?!

Well I got my hx rims on there today and the front rim is hitting the caliper and scraping it, meaning I can't move the car. Is this a normal problem and how can I solve it?

Well if it's hitting the caliper, you can either move it away or cut the part that's hitting...what other options do you think there are? Don't cut your wheels up yo

It is common for those running Integra brakes. Both the EJ1 and Integra run similar sized brakes.
