Default B20b/vtec Rods Question

Working on B20/vtec. Using B16a head with stock b20 crank. What would be the proper connecting rod size to use to get proper head clearence. I have been looking at the JE Pistons for use B20 with b16a head, heard those use stock b20 rod size, but haven't got anthing to back that up yet.

I knew the rods were the same size, but I am glad to hear stock size is the right size. I had heard horror stories about custom rods.
