Are 15" alloys off a Passat any use?

Been offered 15" alloys off a Passat, 7" wide, fitted with 205/60/15 tyres. I have looked through the Wiki and tried to understand about alternative wheels and tyre sizes but brain got a little fried!
Just really want to know opinions and whether these wheels are likely to be a useful improvement and in what ways it might affect my van.
Cheers, Thanks

Simple really....

Leave well alone because they are the wrong offset(ET),the centre bore is too small and they are not load rated for a van that can weigh 2.5 ton!!
