Default hx rims on ex

so i bought some hx rims and tires for 200 locally, to put on my 00 ex, but when i put them on, there is no clearance between the rim and the callipers... has anyone else had this problem?

i dont see why it wouldnt work... dont the hx's and the ex's have the same brake setup?

get some spacers or toss a washer or two to push them out a little bit if you don't want to grind the caliper.
