Default Slicks dont F'n fit...........help

I have a 91 Integra, I bought a set of 13x8x20 slicks. I Finally got a set of rims for them from a crx. There the alu ones. I went to put them on and they dont clear my stock caliper. Has anyone had this problem before? Would a caliper from a different car work? please help
thanks

Yes. Bogart usually includes them with wheel purchase through them.

if you run the spacers you might want to look into putting extended wheel studs on. ARP has a new set for honda. If you do this tack weld them on the hub!

F-ck it.... run no front brakes. I think Johnny fron Pit Crew did it a while back. GANGSTA!

Anyways, use spacers. I have a 94 Civic Si and the calipers that come with the ABS model are bigger. I got spacers from Bogart, but I know people who use the ones from Pep Boys. Either way, it's cool.

thanks for all the options, i like the no brakes one best.......
I will try the spacers.But I am only running these rims at the track. I am sure I will have to get longer studs, do they sell special lug nut to use with out the spacers when I run my regular rims.
I am not even sure these slicks will give me any ground clearance. There 20" and I have a 1.8 drop on my car. You guys thing they will fit.
thanks for all your help.
