my question is i have a 99 civic dx hatch and im putting a 96 spec itr in my car well all i need left is the axles ...i was told that i would have a problem putting 98 jdm itrs in my hub cause they are way thicker...is that true? i was also told the 97 usdm ones would fit...is that true as well...thanks again.

 

yeah, jdm axles wont fit your stock hub, cant remember how much bigger they are, but they are bigger.
any b-series usdm will fit

 

ok what if i use a jdm intermediate shaft with usdm axles...will that be ok?

thanks by the way

 

The JDM five lug axles has a larger outer joint. You can use any 94+ Integra axle, 99-00 Si, or Del Sol vtec from 93-97.

And yes you can use any of the other axles on the JDM halfshaft, only the outer joint is bigger.

 

Just for reference it's a 36mm spline/hub. We stopped doing JDM 5 lug swaps after Lane's FI motor because it's a pain in the *** when you break those axles as they're not as easy to attain or make.

 

thanks for your help guys...ok if it were u if your options were a 94+ gsr axles with 5000 miles or itr axles with 17,000 which would u pick? aslo already had a intermediate shaft from a 96 jdm itr but it has random miles all u know is under 40k would u just use that or buy the 97 usdm one with the axles?

You're not really going to have any advantage either way so it's up to you, mileage isn't a huge factor either unless they've already been put under a lot of stress (i.e. lots of launching, etc.). I personally would just use the GSR and the stock halfshaft as they rarely wear out. You aren't converting to 5 lug with the 36mm hub, correct?
