Default Tyres for a 140 / 164?

A friend is selling these, and from what I've read on here, wondered if they were the right size for 140 / 164s?

The tyre size for 140/164 is 165 SR 15.

The difference is very small. So I think you don't have any problem.

The handbook for my 164 gives the tyre size as either 165 x 15 or 175 x 15 with speed rating of s or h.
Correct me if I am wrong but these appear to be the lower r rated.
Could they be for a van?

The 164 should be on 175 and the E+TE models are on 185
