One point to note is that the wheels will only fit the heavy Alko / maxi fiat chassis as the wheel pc but is 130 against the 118 of the 15 inch wheels

Most 16” wheels have a bolt PCD of 130mm. However some recent vans have 16” wheels with a bolt PCD of 118mm the same as the 15” wheels.

If your van is more than 3 years old with 16” wheels these should fit.

To confirm measure the bolt PCD and the centre hole and compare to the advert

Anotherthing, if I was selling the spare wheel of my Van, it is also a steel wheel with a new tyre that was never put under the van, yet it is 10 years old.

Just chech what year the tyre was manufactured to be on the safe side.

The two I got have sept 17 tyres on them and the miles I have been doing they will be gone beofre they reach any sort of age. Bailey have only been fitting alloys to vans for roughly a year now and using the maxi chassis for around the same time, so its unlikely that the tyres/wheels will be more than a year old or thereabouts
