Default Converting from can of gunk to space saver

Although I have only had one puncture requiring roadside attention in half a million miles of driving, and my wife never, I still intend to replace with a space save the compressor and can of gunk (actually the latter is missing anyway) in her 2008 C30 T5 that we have just purchased; the one time one of us gets a puncture in it will probably be a bigger PITA otherwise.

My question is do I only need to buy the tyre (T125/85R16 99M according to the Owner's Manual), wheel, and a retaining lug to replace the one that currently secures the compressor, or is there more to it?

Common sense says "No", but I'll check anyway.

TVM.
