If not I will try to find out more for you. Pete S.   Jason T.

In their catalog you'll see the adapter to fit d2 wheels on a d1   Nadim Samara (Discodino) New Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 26 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 03:53 am:    18" DII rims on a DI? My tummy is starting to turn... Man, do me a favor and get some bead locked 15"ers! I guess to each his own! God Speed!   Peter Sharratt (Gummikuh) New Member Username: Gummikuh Post Number: 31 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 01:02 pm:    Hi Ron Yeah as I guessed Simmonites sell the adaptors, I have spoken with Rachael Simmonite and thay cost �395 + VAT @ 17.5%, not sure what postage is like. go to www.simmonites.co.uk for more info or speak to Rachael.

I believe the off road capabilities of the D1 may be decreased by such a conversion - smaller lug nuts, lower profile tires?
