Apparently the issue is the rear brakes!
From the TuffAnt site:
OFFSET - THE GOOD
A good step forward for the New Discovery is that the factory offset is reduced from the previous model. With the standard factory 19", the offset has reduced from ET53 to ET39. This reduction does two things; Firstly, the lower offset means the load is closer to the vertical centre of the wheel, which means the load is more evenly distributed. Secondly for steel wheels, this means clearance can be increased when the wheel is moved more outboard.
NEW REAR BRAKE - THE NOT SO GOOD
Whilst the front brake caliper is basically the same as the previous model, Land Rover has upgraded the rear caliper to a larger unit, even larger than the front unit. Sadly, this means the Original TuffAnt 18" does not quite fit and a new design has needed to be undertaken. As with the original design, a new engineering design, prototyping and testing process needs to be undertaken, most of which is now completed.

You are talking the LR brakes to D5, correct?

The new Disco 5 has the same rear brakes that have been on the full size Range Rover for several years. So if you know of an 18inch wheel that fits the full size Range Rover then it should work here too
