Yes you'll need longer rear studs and front bolts/stud conversion to fit the alloys.
Has for the spacers it all depends on what size alloys you've got and they're ET(offset).

Really need to know the ET to know what size spacers are required.

is there a easy way to find out i.e measuring from the centre of the centre hole to the alloy face is that correct steve?

If they're genuine Merc they should have it stamped on them.
If not.....
