Default 5 lug setup confusion EG/DC2

Hey there, I have bought the parts that were listed in numerous threads including BrakeExpert's and other 5 lug conversion threads and don't have the correct bearing to make it all work. Yes, I have read a bunch of threads but info is everywhere and still has led me astray. So here's where I'm at...

I am in USA and have an EG hatch with DC2 GS-R suspension. I am trying to upgrade the brakes in preparation of K-swapping. I have chosen the Legend GS dual pot front calipers, so I need the 11.1" rotors from the Prelude(check), the hubs from a CRV(for the 5 lug and 36mm spline to work with Prelude axles for the Kswap)(check) and the stock DC2 spindle. The problem is the bearing. The OD of the bearing is an easy fit since they are mean to slide into the spindle, but the ID is too small for the bigger shaft of the CRV hub due to the bigger inside of the hub where the spline is. I measured 3.1107" for the outside of bearing(should be ID of spindle) and the OD of the CRV hub that will slide into the bearing is 1.775" which is too big for the stock bearing.

In closing, I am looking for the correct bearing but can't locate the info on the forums. If someone can hook me up the link to the page with the info or has the correct bearing part #, I'd be most appreciative.

the bearing should press into the spindle. the hub then presses into the bearing. You have to brace the right parts of the bearing or you'll ruin it.

My assumption is that a CRV bearing works.

Also...aren't 36mm 5 lug JDM conversions like $900? Fairly cheap and easy...no?
