If you replace the stings with the same gauge there should be no problem...!!!
If , however you decide to go to a lighter or heavier gauge, then additional adjustments
have to be made because of the string tension difference... Possibly a truss rod adjustment
or a spring tension adjustment or both...!!!
The action might also have to be adjusted...

PS. This applies to most guitars, not just the floating tremolo type.
