To buy 16" wheels do i need to upgrade anything els

I found a great deal today on some 16" rims that a shop ordered for somebody and never picked up. They're 16" Konig's with Falken tires. I have a '95 RS with 14" wheels right now. Do i need to upgrade my suspension in any way to get these? I understand that the clearance between the wheel and fender will not change, i've read that much. But is it a good idea to upgrade anything or is it just a matter of looks. Thanks a lot...

I haven't bought them yet. The guy is bringing them up to show me tomorrow. If they were the right bolt pattern/offset i was gonna buy them. Fastco's website says the offset is +45 is that right?
