The offset or rear-wheel drive cars (like BMWs) is typically a lot different than front-wheel drive cars. 205 is no problem if the offset is right (40mm).

Just get some other wheels with the right offset and go have fun.

Some of those wheels have 45 mm offset I think. I'm down 1.4" on 205s and have never had any rubbing.

i'l go with 16 , 17 would be overkill here in norway (land of speedbumps and nasty roads) and 205/45
