Total novice fitting Alloys - Please Help

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone can guide me through the minefield that is Alloys & T25's...
I've found some alloys that have the following spec -
Rim - 7" x 16"
PCD - 5 x 112 mm
Offset - 34 mm
Center bore - 72.6 mm
Any ideas if they would drop straight on or would I need different bolts / nuts etc...
I'm very new to this tinkering lark and have quite a tight budget so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

The chances are any alloy wheels with a 5 x 112 PCD that you're thinking of fitting have been tried by someone somewhere before. If you post a pic of the ones you are looking at then I'm sure someone will chime in as to any spacers etc you might need, or whether they are likely to have a sufficient load rating for your van and so should even be fitted at all.

I did actually search the site and see those links before posting my question but may not have been clear in what I was asking... Sorry, I'm new to all this.
It seems that there are lots of alloys from other vehicles with different ET's which can be tinkered with to fit by using spacers, studs, bolts & drilling out hole sizes, but I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a size (front & back) that will fit straight on out of the box. I was looking online and have put a couple of the links below, any advice is greatly received.

VW Carat Alloys fit straight on but you'll need a set of screws/nuts to go with them.
