Those are killer tires. I run them myself. On the same wheels.
the only 'slight problem' ........what they cost right now.
8 months ago tire rack had them on sale for about 100 bucks, discounted from
139 or so.
I didn't buy any thin.
I got an Agilles 205/65 R15C about a month ago......
I had to pay about 160 bucks for it, from my local tire dealer.....for just
one tire !
perhaps you'll get a better deal.

on the spare tire - there are at least 3 'sizes' of spare tire carrier.
Where the bolt that holds it to the frame of the van is ......on your '90
you'll see ithe bracket is 'stepped down' about an inch .....
that's because that year van can use a 205/70 R 14 as a stock size tire, and
it will fit in the spare carrier...
and so will your 205/65 R 15C Agilles.

I'm sure you're running the correct tapered seat lug nuts and wheel bolts
for these wheels.

btw......another interesting C load rated 15 inch tire is the 195 R 15C
........I got some of those ....Coopers.....
4 of those look quite 'bad' on my 85 Adventurewagon that's for sale.  Spare
will not fit though, but nice big knarly tires that look and feel quite
good.
