Default 16" tyre size?

Just won a set of 16" rs 7 spokes for my van and wondered what the best size tyre would be?
They currently have 205 55 16, are these ok?
By the way the van is lowered aswell.

cheers

Don't you need special tyres because it is a van?

You might be ok then. I thought vans had to have steel lined tyres or something on the rear to cope with the extra weight of goods in the back. Damo told me, so it must be true
