Doozle - you need to look in your handbook for what the spec is for your country (legal requirements), as the UK minimum spec load index is 111, whilst in Australia it is 109 (for the same spec D3!)
A 105 is way to low, and a 255/55 is slightly too small (D3 uses 255/60x18)
Speed index is usually H as a minimum, although quite a few road tyres for the D3 are V rated. (Mine are W, but thats another story)

yep, also not high enough spec.
107 is too low weight rating, and 50 series tyre is too small.
