Question - Fitting OEM wheels (2006+ M14) onto 2004(EU) R52

Hello. I was wondering if somebody could give me some advice regarding to the compatibility of 'newer' (2006+, using M14 lug bolts) OEM Mini wheels (15") for my old 2004 R52(EU release year) which uses M12.
From what I've gathered is that the rims will fit no problem, the bolt pattern (4x100) remains the same obviously and as they are OEM rims I assume they are hub-centric.
However I'm unsure regarding the bolt hole size on the rims, will these be too big to seat M12 lug bolts? Does one require a washer/shim?

I'm asking as I am in due need of a new pair of tyres and managed to find a great deal on OEM via Ebay.

Thank you!
