Default BMW Wheels on L322?

Hi Guys,

I just bought my first Land Rover last weekend! I've been dreaming about buying one for a couple years now and finally a great deal on an alveston red HSE 4.4L V8 came up and I jumped on it. My plan is to build it up as a camping and mountain bike shuttle machine. First thing to do is to get some AT tires onto it. Not many options in 19", but I found a great deal on some lightly used Goodyear Wrangler ATs in 265/65R18 (31.6" OD) that were taking off a 2023 Ford truck. Now the tough part- getting a set of cheap wheels to suit these tires! There is a set of Disco 2 18s for sale locally which could work, but they will need the center bore cut on a lathe to bring them up to 72.1mm, which is a bit of a pain (sounds like they would need new wheel nuts too @ about $200/set!). There are tons of good deals on X5 wheels around though. I know I will need new lug nuts to go with the BMW wheels, but I have two questions:
1. Are the wheel studs on the L322 long enough to work properly with BMW wheels and cone type wheel nuts? The studs on the LR are quite short at around 30mm. I'd like to have at least 20mm of thread engagement between the studs and the lug nuts.
2. Will the 0.5mm center bore mismatch cause any issues? BMW is 72.6mm and LR is 72.1mm

My other option is just to ditch the idea of the 265/65R18 and get a set of Toyo Open Country AT3 in 255/60R19, which is a 31" tire, but the cost is about double.
Thanks in advance
