Default LR3 wheel swap to Ranger Rover

Hate to ask what has probably been asked. But my searches are not giving good definitive results. On the BMW side of things there is a site dedicated to every BMW wheel made and has all the of-set, pattern info, etc. Im not finding the same with Rover. Anyway, my stock 19" rims are a bit beat up. I would like to refurbish them but then I would need a second set. Also I am considering two sets anyway. One for off-road, which I do maybe once a month, and on-road/daily. Just to take the water off of my nice Cooper set. And no, I am not interested in 18s right now (because someone will bring it up. Heck, someone still will! )

So I am wondering if these will fit? They seem to have the right lug accommodations (not conical). The bolt pattern I believe the same. But I dont know what the offset is for certain (ET53 I think on both) or if the wider size will be an issue (these are 9" wide I believe, versus stock at 8"). I am asking about these specifically because a local set can be picked up with good ties for cheap (I will have to install new TPMS sensors).

I am guessing that by the Ebay thread you are in UK. Your avatar does not say but your title is Dakota traveler. If you are in US (close to Denver) I have complete set of 19's from my 07 LR3 with new DuraTrak tires on them. Rims are not marred.
Hope it might help.

The sport wheels will fit just fine along with L322 rims, but your should really get 18's

BMW X5 rims fit and are usually cheaper the LR 18" rims.

I've got no issues with the 19inch rims on my HSE after I discovered the Atturo M/T's. Much better option vs the $$$$ Duratracs. I'm running a set of 06 RR rims on my 06 LR3 and I really like how they look on it.

Default 19s...

No problem with 19s per se, but of course you lose sidewall.

I guess I should have been more clear when I posted. I have 19s now. There is a set of 19s locally available, but they are from a Range Rover. Link included above its the same style. Just want to make sure they fit. They would become my city tires and the set I have now, with brand new Coopers ATs, would be put on when heading cross country/off-road.

18s would be nice. But nothing locally available. Also do the 18s fit on the LR3 if the HSE came with 19s? Maybe it was some other model, but I recall the calipers being too large. Maybe that was a RR Sport thing. I dunno.

Land Rover 18s fit no problem. I have an HSE. I keep Nokians on my 19s for winter and Cooper Discoverer STT Pros on the 18s for spring and summer when I'm offrad.

Did you need any spacers or different lugs or anything? I just bought those wheels cheap and was hoping they would fit but the tire shop said they wouldn't because of the diameter of the lug holes and the offset.
