Default B-series axles same length as 97-98Prelude axles?

Someone told me that the b-series axles for my B16 In my 95 Civic Si is same length as prelude Base model axles year 97-98. Can anyone confirm this? The reason is im running jdm ITR 5lug 36mm. I was told the prelude axles have a 36mm outter hub and a 32mm inner hub that will be a straight bolt up for this set up.

Go to Napa, get the right axles for your car. They're not that expensive, are good quality, and have lifetime warranty.

5 gen Preludes have 36mm axles. Most b-series are 32mm, only exception is the JDM Type R, which is 36mm

I'm running this setup, I've confirmed with you already. Still skeptical?

92-96 prelude axles will not fit, the inner cv housing is too big.
97+ prelude axles will fit, they have the same inner cv housing as B-series. Outer cv is 36mm.

I apologize if I sounded like a ***** yesterday, I didn't intend it to come out that way.

I don't like to give out wrong information. What I tell people is what I know, what I've done, and what I've learned from doing things myself either for my car or someone elses'. "I heard" BS doesn't fly with me very well unless they can prove to me they've done it themselves.

In this case, I do have the axles in my car, and I wouldn't tell you otherwise. I'm actually in the process of changing out the axles becuase they broke on me, so I've already gone back to NAPA for new ones.

Please let me know if you have issues installing them becuase I sure didn't.

I can try to find the axles that came with my JDM 5-lug setup and take a picture with the new NAPA axle.
