Tanks mate. Nö mods needed so far.
I'd rather go for a 18 inch as you can go on higher bump and it's more comfortable. A friend of mine just broke 19 inch Ltz so quick...

I have 17" STT's and they are more comfortable than the 18" ATR's over bumps - deeper sidewalls on the tyres. But they are quite noisy especially around 60mph and even worse on decent European motorways as I found out going to the Pyrenees on them the other week. 
However, I believe the 17" KM2's are almost silent at motorway speeds.
Both had no trouble with anything we through at it in the Pyrenees, though not much of the route was testing for any tyre TBH. Mark.

Don't know about the Disco, but on the RRS I had to modify a bit.
The front one will rub a little with the steering on full lock, they my also rub on the inside of the front of the mudguard lining, I moved it a bit forward.
The back one rub on the forward half of the mudguard lining when on a bump. Did not modify it as the rubbing is occasional and is probably easier to change the lining when needed.
I had to modify a bit the front part of the mudguard, behind the lining, bend back the metal seams, as when in hight twist the tyre will rub there and get damaged by it.

Fair enough. Would be good enough like at the Toyota to put 17 on the big car. Not on the petrol one.

Only if you stick a screwdriver in each ear and rip out your eardrums. I'd put them on a par with MTRs for volume although not as high pitched so more tolerable.

Only what I was told by someone who has just put them on his 17" wheels in place of the STT's that were on. Mark.
