I run those tires on my HX rims and I love them. No issues besides the fact that the tires wear really quick but thats to be expected.

That didn't make sense. Mounting wheels to rims?

I think you're talking about the warning that's molded into the tire and says something to the effect of "do not mount a 14-inch tire on a 14.5-inch wheel." It simply means that if you have a 14.5" wheel, don't attempt to mount a 14" tire on it - I don't know where you're getting this 14x5 stuff.

thats what i said man, but i used wheel for your word tire! and i used rims for the word rim, thats for the people who are not understanding. and im getting the 14x5 from the back of the hx rims or rim. and the sticker WAS on the " tire " not rim.

yes. this means u do NOT mount x.5 rims to x rims. understood? a tighter fit can blow your tire. see the lil picture of the guy getting blasted in the face from mounting incorrectly? i should know - i just got new tires like 2 weeks ago.
