Default need help asap! front brakes

93 civic Si, non ABS

Ok, problem is the pass side wheel is rubbing against the caliper, where there should be about 1/4" clearance .. I just did the front pads and machined the rotors, everything is in spec as far as those parts go (within service limits for the rotors, not warped) .. driver's side is fine. Any ideas on why the wheel would hit the caliper? Thanks!

you may not have the wheel seated on the hub flat. It probly cockeyed, and caught on one side on the studs. If its on the hub crooked, the wheels will smash/hit the caliper.

fixed, turns out the oem steelies had been bought from a wrecker (fronts only), and the one that was hitting the caliper was a different offset .. with the new thicker brake pads the caliper to wheel clearance was zero

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciated.
