Default Aluminum civic radiator question

I'm in the market for an aluminum radiator for my 99 civic dx d16y7 and wanted to know which inlet & outlet size is correct for my application,28mm or 32mm?

I prefer all aluminum radiators because I have had to replace every radiator that was a plastic aluminum combo in just about every car I have owned. They are less likely to give problems when you 500 miles from home with limited tools and stuck in a hotel parking lot. I like the added cooling capacity as well.

Op, 4mm is a matter of .15 of a inch so it really won't matter.

Why is it so hard to just answer the OP's question? He didn't ask for your personal preference for your swaps, at least I didn't see that question!!!

4mm can be a big difference. Ever try squeezing a D-series hose onto a B-series radiator outlet? Not easy I can tell you.
