I've had the BFG A/T's 265/65/18 on for about 8 months now and have had no rubbing off-road even with articulation ... least not that I could hear or see  I'll double check that though.
It has made a massive difference to the vehicle off-road !
If you have rear ac or the fuel line buldge, you have rubbing at "fully stuffed up in" articulation. both of these things make a buldge in the front of the rear wheel well. 96 Disco I, 210,000 miles - still going strong

I run BFG A/Ts in 265/70/17s.
The rear tyres have worn a thin slot in the front of the plastic arches.

a quick BFG vs General Grabber AT2 question: are BTGs really so much better then AT2 to justify their £40 price difference? It makes nearly £200+ on a set of 5 I am planning to buy.... TLC D4D

BFG AT KO have a stronger sidewall and are a harder compound so the wet weather performance is a little exciting.
General AT2 are a better compound in the wet and give a better feel, but will not last as well as the BFG AT KO, the General AT2 is a better quaility tyre and will balance better.
Both have good points, I think General is better value for money,. and we keep more General sizes in stock than BFG.
We use General AT2 on both the Disco and the wifes L/Cruiser, but have KL71 on my Defender 110 and BFG MT KM on the 90.

thanx Andy, this makes sense. I am still waiting for KL71 (265/70/17) thou but I am losing my nerve really....last time KL71's were available in this country was sometime in February.
by the way, did you hear about Mastercraft MT, possibly a cheaper brand of Cooper STTs, apparently available in UK, any opinions? TLC D4D

Right then......here goes.
I have read just about every thread on here concerning tyres. I have 18" ten spokes and have always fitted BFG AT's as i just cant fault them in any way, but fitting to a D3 is new ground for me.
As far as i can tell 265/65 - 18 is the biggest i can get on a standard vehicle as things like spacers are a no no for me so think i will stick with the BFG's.
One question though, will this size in a BFG MT still fit just as well?
