Default 1985 XJ-S 16in Lattice Upgrade advice please!!

Hello,
I want to upgrade my 85 XJ-S to 16 in lattice alloy wheels. Please can anyone advise me what to consider before having them fitted? In terms of offset and rubbing in the wheel arches etc etc.
I have uploaded images of the pepper pot alloys I have on currently and the lattice ones I want to replace them with.

Looking forward to all your responses.
Many thanks

The photos will not upload not sure why. Pepperpot alloys have the following information on them: 6JK X 15 X 33
The lattice ones: 7J X 16CH X 28.5

Hope that helps
thanks

As you can see you need different offset if you go 255 wide tires.

It was a site I didn't bookmark. Just snapped the info for my car. However, if the body and the axles are the same I see no reason why it should be different for your car.
