Default 5 lug conversion for an ek?

Is there a difference between the usdm/jdm 5 lug conversions? I have a 99 civic coupe and want a 5 lug conversion so I can throw some jdm itr wheels on it. Just want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff, thanks.

Yes really, I know nothing about 5 lug conversions other than the fact that there are 5 lugs and that I want one so I can get the wheels I want. Get over your self.

I tried to google it but different people on different forums say different things. All I've gotten thus far is jdm axel 36mm usdm 32mm, but that means nothing to me other than the 4mm difference. If I semi-knew what I was looking for it'd be one thing but I have no idea about any of this stuff, at all. But thanks for that link.

32mm, you can use your axles
36mm, you have to get custom ones.

I advise you to not do this till you have a full understanding on what you are doing because right now you wouldnt have the know how to do it. If you want 5 lug just because of wheels, why not cheap out and get a 4x100 to 5x114.3 spacer

Or whats even easier is just get some ITR replica wheels in 4x100.

I wouldn't be installing it a friend would. If I get an adapter/spacer then the wheels are going to stick out and I don't want replicas.

its extremely easy to swap. hardest part is bleeding the brakes.

4 nuts and a brake hose each side up front

5, a brake hose and an ebrake cable each side out back

drums need new Ebrake cables, si and other rear disk cars can retain use of ebrake cables

Get US brakes and it will swap part for part.

JDM brakes can be instaled on a Bseries car with CRV axles fyi

Get the USDM 32MM, Much easier to find Axles.

This. Every Honda I've owned has had a set and he described it to a t.

What do you buy your axles second hand?
