15" rims likely will not fit without a pretty huge offset. You won't clear the caliper otherwise.
That said, the old BFG MTs were awesome tires. I don't care for the new KM2s. They don't clean out well, and the rubber is very soft and likely to be punctured by rocks.
The MTRs are pretty nice. They clean out better, but I've found them not to have very good street manners in the rain and they're pretty loud.
My preferred street tires are Cooper Discoverer STTs. They're louder than the BFGs on the road but handle way better than either of the tires you listed in any terrain.

I hate to add complexity, but I have been very pleased with the traction and wear of my set of Kelly Safari TSR's:

I don't consider them to be anywhere near as loud as mudders and no more noisy than any other AT tire I've shod my pickup with.
