OK, precise wheel specs:
D2
8.5Jx20 ET45 4d0601025ae
255/35R20 97 ZR(Y) XL
D3
9Jx20 ET46 4e0601025af
275/35R20 102 ZR(Y) XL
I would say the extra width isn't a major issue.
Details on the fitting here:

Sticking out an extra 5mm will fill the front arches quite nicely, although the rears on mine (8.5") are spaced out 20mm!
The higher load index of the tyre intended for the D3 won't help the ride quality - if fitting new tyres to 9" rims on a D2 finding some in 97 load index would be beneficial. There's a 98 available for Super Sports
The change in rolling radius will help the gearing at motorway speeds, although not by very much!
