1972 Ford Econoline 300 rv

I hope this the right place to post this. I have a 1972 Ford Econoline rv that a got from a junkyard a while ago. Unfortunately, it did not have any rims and tires on it when I bought it. A friend of mine gave me a set of 8 lug 16x7 inch rims with some 215 75 16 [10 ply] E Series tires he had on a ford van of his he used to own. So far they ride good and I have not had any problems with the wheels and tires. Is there anything that I should do or upgrade to make sure things continue to run smooth? I did some research and found out that it originally came with 16.5 inch rims. Will I be okay if I keep riding on the 16x7's?

The 16" rims make tires easier to find and cheaper, just make certain to use the correct load which in your case is E.
