Will 8 lug chevy, ford, and dodge van wheels fit my truck?

I found a set of 8" wide centerline wheels (don't know model number) and a new set of 245/75/16 tires for $500. They said the tires and wheels came off a van, don't know yet what make.

Will any 8 lug wheel fit on my 2001 dodge 4x4? I will look at them tomorrow.

Also I think the tires are Firestones. Any good luck or bad luck from anyone? These are 245/75/16, not a big tire. I'm thinking about going smaller for less mechanical stress, more mpg, while pulling 5ver. It's cheaper to put on smaller tires than rebuilding transmission.

My wifes Tahoe came with Firestones. Never was much of a fan before, but those things went 56k on the original set, so I replaced them with the same thing. I also put them on my 96 Chevy 2500 with a 6.5 turbo diesel and they are about the longest wearing tires I have ever ran.

Most wheels you find will not be hub centric like the factory wheels.
