Default integra axles vs crx axles

are the axles from an integra xSi (from the complete b16a swap kit) wider than the axles from an 86 crx?

i ask because i intend to put a gt widebody kit on my crx, but dont want a huge gap bt the fenders and the wheels.

if not, what would be the best way to fill in the space aside from custom deep dish rims?

The axles are way too long. You need the custom HASport axles.

Widebody kits are used so you can run ultra-wide rims. You need wider rims.

what would happen if i used the integra axles? right now, im thinking on a purely cosmetic level (with limited knowledge about cars) would it even be drivable?

the widebody kit from housemanautosport.com is very wide.

They won't fit. If you did somehow shove them in, your suspension would be seriously screwed up and the axles will probably destroy themselves with a little time.

You need custom axles for that engine in that body, no way around it. That widebody is so you can run 10-11 inch wide rims.

Axles don't affect your track width. Your hubs and front suspension geometry affect that, your axles just connect your tranny to the drive hubs.
