Thread: D3 Wheels onto a D2

Yes d3 wheels bolt straight into a d3. Onto a d2, you will need different wheel nuts.

You will also need a ring that goes onto the hub spigot to adapt the spigot size to suit the D3 wheel. I think it is D3 wheel nuts that you use, the studs are the same thread type. There is a slightly different offset, I can't recall what it is exactly, do a search on here, but I think they sit the track a few mm wider than with D2/P38a wheels.

Here's a pic for you.



I'm pretty sure this guy runs 30mm spacers with the wheels.

I have D3 wheels on one of my D2's
you need a spacer for the centres that goes onto the hub
all 4 hubs the same otherwise the wheels won't centre properly
the spacer dimensions are 70mmID & 73.25OD x 15mm wide with a slight bevel on both outer edges.i made mine out of Aliminium tube like bull bar tube.
clean the hubs up with emery paper as they should be a firm fit.
about the nuts I'm not sure as mine came with the nuts to suit the wheels.
cheers
