You should put that back in your purse.

To the o.p.: there are so many different factory wheels for the D2/P38. Start there.

Some people report wobbles without hub centric rings, but I’ve never had that issue on a P38/D2 with aftermarket wheels.

BMW X5 wheels will go on a P38/D2.
I can confirm this that the rims on my wife's 2011 BMW X5 (E70) are 5x120 bolt pattern. But I wouldn't put her 20"x11" rear rims (315/35/20 tires) or 20"x9.5" front rims (275/40/20 tires) on my Disco since they are wider.

Older X5’s had 18’s if I’m not mistaken on the lower trim levels.

Nope, BMW, VW and others use the same PCD bolt pattern as D2's.

Be sure to check the offset as well. It would be nice to find a set that sit farther outboard for more tire clearance with bigger tires.

I don't quite understand why so many D2 owners change their LR wheels for tacky looking (price is irrelevant) aftermarket wheels when the D2 range is so huge in recommended sizes. IMHO I would stick with LR wheels be they alloys or steel.

You won't get any more tire clearance with bigger tires by moving the wheel out because you'll interfere with the fender. I'm running 285/75r16s and if I moved them out even 1/4” I'd have to roll the fenders.

I kind of agree with you but I think the Terrafirma black or anthracite alloy rims look nice on a Disco.

I had bad luck with steel wheels and wanted a wheel that allows me to service the axles with the wheels on(D1). The TF anthracite RVS wheels are just that. Plus they're beadlock-able which is nice, but they hold a bead better than most Rover wheels anyways.
