Hubs from D2 on D1

[Tony23007]

Does anyone know if the hubs from a D2 will fit the Disco 1. I want to change all my hubs so I can get the new wheel pattern for some steel wheels I like. I don't want the spacers not only because of the price but I've heard are not a good idea for off-road use??? I think I might need new rotors as well as those bolt right onto the hubs but I am not sure if they fit the other components of the D1. Thanks in advance....

you could always juts weld them on??

i think the diff side of the axle is the same? not sure about length, etc. there arent many steelies available for 5x120 either. which ones didyou have an eye on?

What, already, its only been a couple days. Ill se what i got.


as far as rotors on a D2 to try and keep this almost on topic. they are pretty easy to change but dont think its worth the hassle of changing the hubs. It might be easier to put a whole D2 axle set there.

You probably do not want to change out to D2 axles if you plan on wheeling a lot. Doing a field repair of a broken axleshaft would be tough. Further, the D2 axles are wider and not really a good match. I think it would be more trouble that it is worth for results that are worse than what you have.

BUT - if you really want to do this, I do have some D2 axles.
