Does anyone know if BFG AT tyres in 265 X 65 X 18 fit on a Disco 3 SE with normal 18 inch alloys. Thanks Jonathan

Yes they do 
Although you really need to raise the suspension height around 20-25mm (via a recalibration or shortened sensor rods) to stop them rubbing in access height and under suspension compression. 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

My Cooper LTZ are 285 / 60 R18 which are 799mm, the BFG's you are after are 801mm in diameter.
I have no problem with rubbing even with the LLAMS kit set at -20mm and Access height. But yes the tyres will rub the rear wheel plastic inner wheel arch at the front when 4wding on compression.
I can fit my spare in but have to deflate it to nearly flat!
