5x5 day van wheels on full size 88

Here in the UK, trying to get a nice set of wheels to suit a full size 72 Olds is proving nigh on impossible.
Anyway, a set of rims that were previously fitted to a day van and a Blazer have turned up. They look like the Outlaw 2 style.
The wheels are marked with the following information, which look about right for my 72 88 Royale: 8Jx15, H2, E-20.
Question is, will these fit?? I'm assuming the E-20 mark means the offset?
I've got tyres already. 245/60/15 for the front, 255/60/15 for the rear.
Will this set up fit my car ok?

Not sure I know what a "day van" is, but I had 5x5 wheels from a Chevy half ton pickup on my 84 Custom Cruiser. Assuming the wheels you are looking at have the right center bore diameter and near zero offset, they will work fine.

I have 255/60/15 on a 15x8 wheel on the rear of my 85 Detla and they fit with room to spare. In 85, the Delta 88 was a lot smaller than in 72

I put an offer in on the wheels, so am waiting to hear.

The wheels are from a Chevy pick up originally.

Day van is what we call things like GMC Astro vans and Ford Ecolines etc in the UK. Not quite a camper, but something with a comfort interior for a days travel, hence the name day van. Its a UK thing. Lol
