Welcome to ASV.

As for the wheels, you would need to check the lug spacing. The 1985 - 2002 Astro's used a 5 lug wheel with a 5 in spacing like the full size Chevy trucks and cars like the Caprice. If the Jeep wheels are a 5x5 they may fit.

Wheels off of a Chevy S-10 pickup or a car like a Camaro will not fit because they use a 5x4.75 spacing.

If I were you I would look for a set of the factory alloy wheels from a mid 90's full size Chevy truck (don't know how hard that would be to find in the UK though.)
I have a ban hammer and I ain't fraid to use it!

2007 and later Wranglers have the same bolt pattern, but the back spacing is wrong. You can often fine Wrangler guys selling used aftermarket rims with back spacing that will work on the 1985-2002 vans.
