If the same,
Why is my 10" J wheel rattling around on the one stud it reaches on my spare wheel carrier??

SR also list different shoes and hubs for the J.

Nige65, I have just spoken with Danny at Scootopia who is a a J guru, and he has confirmed what I thought.
Hubs, shoes, speedo drive, rims tyes etc will all have to be changed.
If you need any info or parts he can advise you, 01934 641811.

If you decide to stick with the 9", I have a legshield spare wheel carrier that doesn't fit my 10" wheel I can sell you
