D3 wheels on a D2 Problem !

[Ricky22buk]

I have just purchased a set of 20" D3 wheels with 275x35x20 tyres for my 2002 D2 S8. They seemed liked a bit of a bargain until I tried them on the car today. When I put the car back on the ground after fitting the rims I ran my hand round the tyre to check for clearance and my fronts are touching my front suspension arms.

I was so sure I had read on here that D3 rims were fine on a D2 but could anyone clarify and tell me the score please ?

I also hope no one suggests that the only way I can resolve this is by using spacers. I hate them and actually sold the set that was on this car when I bought it to a forum member.

Thanks for any help in advance guys !
