Default JDM 5Lug Swap help

So I have a JDM 5lug swap that has the 36mm hubs. I dont have a b-series, so I can't use any 36mm B-series axles to fit on the front. What parts do I need to make the stock D16Z6 32mm axles fit the jdm 5lug swap on the front? Will usdm itr hubs fit the JDM knuckle?

no the bearings are different. But you can swap the 36mm outer cv onto your z6 axles, or get any 94-01 knuckle and press the 5 lug usdm hub into that.

Are you sure you can swap the 36mm outer cv on to the 32mm Z6 outer cv? Ive heard this is not possible. Is there anyone out there that has done this before and can confirm that it works?

I really don't want to have to buy new knuckles and have to get them pressed together.

I have not done that myself so no I'm not sure on the cv's. I have pressed usdm 5 lug hubs into regular spindles though, I have also had 36mm knuckles so I do know they are different.

If it has 10 inch rotors it will work, 9 inch no. I cant remember the casting number but can look tonight if you need.

So if my eg has 9 inch rotors I will have to buy 94-01 integra knuckles and itr hubs to make it work? Also what years/models of eg came with 10" rotors?

Unless you got that "swap" dirt cheap, it's better and usually cheaper to upgrade teggy knuckles. You get new hubs & bearings as a benifit.

I'd also not suggest the swap unless your ARP extended wheel studs are breaking due to pushing it on the auto-x or road course, or unless you don't think your car is enough of a theft target already.

Is there any other 5x114.3 32mm hubs that will work aside from usdm type r hubs? It's going to be like $400 for new hubs from Acura.

Search around, but I'm pretty sure that the front hubs have to come from Acura. You can pick up wheel bearings in the aftermarket and save yourself a few bucks though. And they will only go into (usdm-wise) civic 90-00 civic ex, 99-00 si, and 94-01 teg knuckles.

I don't know what motor/axles you are already running, but swapping outer joints is a viable option too.

Are preludes or crv's 32mm?

If you can use them it may be a bit cheeper then usdm itr, try gooleing majestic honda they sometimes have cheeper parts.

I don't have a B series, otherwise I could just use the jdm itr axles
I have. I already tried Majestics Acura parts site, but for some reason they don't ship outside of the US.

I'm getting some custom axles made from Gator to solve this problem.

No. Crv knuckles/hubs are exactly the same as jdm itr knuckles/hubs and preludes/accords are completely different. And both are "36mm"

good day everyone, i am new to this site and i apologize for asking a question on someone else's post. I really need help from the pros.

I own a Honda Civic Hatchback 99-00 D15Z4 SOHC
I recently bought ITR 98 spec complete 5 lug set up
I need help with this conversion.

So far we realized that the ITR 98 is 36mm whilst my outer axles are 32mm.
We considered a wheel hub and bearing replacement from either a CRV/Odysssey....no luck...the crv does not work period? or does it have to be a specific year? I am aware it has to be 5 lug as well...anyways it did not work.

Our next option is to try a CTR 96', will the wheel hub and bearing work with the 98' ITR??

Also alot of forums speak of an axle rebuild, is this a good option and how do i do this? What shall i ensure is done when doing the rebuild?

To make a long story short, all i need to know is what do i need to use the ITR 5 lug on my EK!!

please help thank you!

If you can get a set of ctr knuckes, they will have the smaller i.d. hubs that you are after.
