Default screws in rims

well i found a set of prostar 15x8" wheels for my car and they have been drilled for slicks. i think there is only 4 holes in the wheel. now my question is do i have to put screws into my tires to run these wheels on my nitto drag radials? are they any ill effects of the rims being drilled?

I have one Draglite on the back of my car that was drilled for slicks. I have radial tires on the car now. No air leaks from the one with the holes.

Mine are drilled for slicks with radials on them. Not a single problem.
