No harm in trying the 15" rim fit - especially if you have a tire removal tool handy.
Incidentally, I checked the van rim today. 16x7" with a 2-3/4" hub, 4.5" bolt circle, and it accepts an 8" hub cap. A drop in fit with exception to diameter and width (the two things we want in the first place, of course), and it looks no different than a stock rim (though your sidewall profile will probably begin to look a bit different):
'68 Satellite 14" rim at left (5.5 in width, I believe), and the 16x7" van rim at right, next to it.
