The only bfg in 205.70 is the urban terrain that I have and they are great as a road bias compromise. 205.75 offers more variety as does 215.75 but they may well need mud flap removal. 15x7j are the common aftermarket wheels usually in -15 and -30 offset. Minus 15 is plenty for a standard car especially with taller or wider tyres. There is a sticky thread on the subject in technical and wiki sections

Don't discount the urban terrain, it has yet to get me stuck on the farm though in 2wd it can be a bit skaty on slick mud but 4x4 sorts that out. In snow they are simply epic.
