Default 5-lug conversion please help need info

i found a person that's selling a 99 itr 5-lug set, he said it's from japan..... i was wondering do i also need the axles from the itr?? i read somewhere that a guy said i need the axles because jdm axles are 36mm and usdm are 32mm , so does that mean i need to swap out my axles or can i still use my stock axles???i have a 99 civic hb dx... any info would help
thanks

You will have to use the JDM ITR axle. If not, get a shop to customize you one.

If indeed they are from a Japanese 99 Integra, then yes you will need the appropriate axles/driveshafts from a 98+ JDM DC2R

So if you get a 5 lug conversion from a USDM ITR, you won't need the axels?

hahahah your right my sn i should have a typeR , well i made that name up cuz that's what my project for the civic will be , i'm trying to make it a usdm version of it...still got a lot more to go like take off the fbp and paint it championship white.. b16b or b18c5, red recaro seats, and so on, would be weird if i made up someother name and when i do finish my project then change it again don't make sense...
ANOTHER QUESTON : do i need to buy a different master cylinder?? or use the stock 99hb dx one??? someone told me with the conversion i need to use either jdm itr axles or knock out the stock outer axle bearing and put in a prelude axle bearing..????
thanks all for your help and info
