nah m8 shouldnt have to upgrade anything it is only alloys. what i will say is that the 3 studs was only on the base models (Flat back above the rear wheels) so you will more than likely experience rubbing at the back so you will probally have to either take it to a garage or do it urself and cut the lip off under the arch. that way when you have people in the back or go over bumps the wheels want rub against the lip!
garage do it for bout 50 pound, just ask around some body shops!

its under the wheel arch m8 just put your hand under and you can feel the metal lip going intowards the car about 1cm you need to cut this off and then no problem at all
