I advise you to buy rims in 17 "
Best for "off road", the sides are higher, less fragile!
Easy to find the original rims D3
Take a look on EBAY ....

The BMW may be slightly wider than LR,so maybe better tyre choices?

Be careful with Bmw rims ,
As at Jan 2009, all Discovery 3 factory fit and dealer fit wheels (17, 18 & 19") have been rated at 940kg per rim. While it is physically possible to fit wheels from the Range Rover Sport and some later FFRR wheels, it should be noted that the rims are rated for a lower weight.
FFRR - 925kg
RRS - 900kg
Fitment of the FFRR or RRS rims may therefore have an impact on your insurance. If in doubt, always check with your insurer. To date there have been no incidents reported on DISCO3.CO.UK of either FFRR or RRS wheels failing, nor have there been any reports of insurers questioning the fitment of these wheels.

That should be 285/60R18 for the LTZ. Note that a few of these, eg Vredestein Wintrac, are not available (nor recommended) for Oz. Also note that there are quite a few BMW X5 rim models, depending on year. Load rating varies from 930kg to around 1000kg.

Cheers,
