Default B18C5 Swap

I have been doing some research on the B18C5 Swap I want to do with my '92 Civic Hatchback. I noticed in another post that swaping this engine (JDM) will cause problems with the axles. Could someone please specify what extactly the problem is, and what I can do about fixing the problem. A friend tells me that if I buy a B-Series Perfomance Axles from Hasport or Enjo for the 92 EG will solve this problem. I however think that there is more to it. Please Help. Thanks

I think jdm b18c - specR axles are a little bigger (36mm) instead of the usual 32(?)mm

the 36mm axle is only on the 5lug setup off a JDM ITR. the iner splines that go into the tranny are the same as USDM. so... just like in one of the previous posts, just use B-series axles and you will be fine..

the size difference only applies if you swap out the hub or spindle to the JDM version. When doing just a motor swap it will make no difference.
