Default Tires don't spin

Well. I am done with the swap but for some odd reason I can't get the wheels to spin. I put it in gear and I accelerate but I don't move. Not on first or reverse. It gets the gears but the tires won't move. I don't have the vtec wired in yet because someone is doing a sub-harness for my vtec. But I doubt its the vtec that not letting me go. Anyways, I put the engine oil and gear oil in. Any ideas?

My friend said the same thing. I took off the tires and torqued in the axles with a wood and a hammer until it no longer went in. On the driver side, if I torque it in I don't get enough thread to screw on the bolt. So I pull it just a bit so I can screw it on. Anyways, after that I check, and I turn the axle and the whole thing connected to the axle turns with it. So I'm pretty sure its on. Who knows, maybe I'm just incompetent when it comes to auto-mechanics. Any other ideas, or can anyone confirm?

Yeah. Sure enough. It was the axles. The passenger side wasn't all the way in. Thanks everyone.
