those are stock 18" land rover HSE wheels.

if you want wheels that are good looking but not redicilous like 22 or 24 inchers then go with 18's. at least with the 18" wheels you can go off road if need be and if you dont go off road you still have the advantage of not looking lame in a land rover on dub + 2's

well there is this guy who live near me with a dark blue disco and has some big rims , and just to let you know they look like ****. i mean really bad like yeah they MAY fit but it just doesn't look right, at all. big rims like they dont fit in the wheel well at all and its just going to look stupid with low pro tires and mega gap in the wheel well. and city with big wheels, nono we used to live in Brooklyn i had 18"BBS wheels on my audi and went back to stock 17" just because its a ****ty ride your going to fvck your wheels up hardcore when parking all the time and you were just talking about alot of pot holes in detroit. pot holes+big rims= flat tires left and right. you will waste more money restoring your wheels and buying tires . then a new set of tires will cost for your stock wheels and it will look like sh*t

No law, no street lights, no garbage pick up, no Police, no Ambulance...nothing that normal society has.

Seriously though, I am glad you are moving to my home state, we need the tax revenue.

Go with the 18" rims from another DII or a P-38 RR.
Alot of people who have the 18's want the 16's so look to swap with someone.

I'd think that you could easily finance 16" wheels and the brand new tires of your choice if you sell the 22"s. The 22s have far more value on craigslist than on your vehicle.

Okay back to your original question. The bolt pattern is correct, if you state the offset of the wheel and width it would help as well whether it will fit or not. You will most likely need hubcentric rings to make it work right, you can do it without theoretically if they are a bigger bore but I do not reccomend it.

I say go with the 18's if you really want a bigger wheel, maybe even 20's if there will not be any off roading at all since the ride quality will decrease with every inch you put in the wheels. Anything larger is just asking for flat tires and bent rims on normal streets.

I say keep looking, there are more BMW 18" rims out there than 22".
