It seems to be easier on the engine driving it around town
Not that over reving on the engine .

what profile, width are the tyres and is are the rims?

With a 6inch side wall, and 205 on a 16" wheel it'll be something like 205/75R16

Be good to know how you get on- mine are 27" and no rubbing, but I guess it's pretty close at the front. Not raised van but new springs and dampers. Keep us updated, I'll get that size next if you're all good [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Just fitted these Wolfrace Arktis 16" for a customer, perfect fit straight on without spacers or longer studs. He reports better grip and handling, yet lighter steering at low speed. The Pirellis are commercially load rated and all season too. A highly recommended combo.
