wait, what? slow down and be more specific on what the heck you're talking about.

You bought s14 rotors. SE or non SE? SE's are 5 lug, non SE are 4 lug. It wont fit the hubs how? And you can practically get any rotors at your local autoparts store... although I do recommend just getting a set of Brembo blanks.

thank you for responding, let me be more specific. i have a 92 s13, i bought a 5 lug conversion kit front and rear off ebay. i also bought new s14 SE 5 lug rotors, the rear rotors fit fine with the stock s13 brakes. The rotor will not go over the 5 stubs attached to the hub. its barely off by just a hair and was wondering if there is a different set of rotors that i need to get these things working.

fyi, abs rotors are thicker than non abs rotors... hopefully you didn't get abs rotors if you weren't supposed to.

anyways, that's kinds irrelevant to the hole pattern not fitting. umm... damn.. I don't know man... either the holes aren't drilled correctly, or the studs are pressed in crookedly. Are all the studs straight?

they are non abs s14 Se rotors. i just put the wheel on the hub and all the studs are straight and the wheel fit fine. would i be able to just drill out the holes a little bit? i heard that i causes vibrations, but since it is a floating rotor and the center will still ride on the hub would this work or will i just trash a new set of rotors?

Seems like rotors are machined wrong. Yes, you can drill out the holes and it won't vibrate since rotors are hub centric.

I wouldnt have much faith in a rotor that wasnt drilled correctly. If you can return them, I'd get some Brembos like Adrian said. NopiOnline.com has them for $30 something each.
