The offset is not 6J or 7J - this is the width of the wheel, i.e 6" or 7". The J refers the the profile of the rim, which determines the type of tyre that can be fitted. Nearly all rims these days are J type.

For a Rover 600 the offset can be 35 to 42 and for the Rover 800 the offset can be 38 to 45. The other thing to consider is the bore (i.e. the hole in the middle of the wheel), if this is different it can allow the wheel to be bolted on off centre. Luckily, the 600 & 800 use the same bore of 64.1. The two cars also use the same PCD (4x114). So, in conclusion, the wheels are basically interchangeable between the cars.
