Default need input on possible wheel

im looking into some wheels for the monte. i have never bought a brand new set of wheels before. i understand wheel bolt patterns, and sizes. but dont know squat about offsets, or back spacing.

Diameter - 18''
Width - 7.5''
Offset - +38
Backspace - 5.75''
Bolt Pattern - 5x115




he will be sending them with 245.45.18 tires.

Offset is the measurement between the wheel hub and the centerline of the wheel. If the hub is centered (equal distance on both sides) it has 0 offset. If the hub is moved towards the outside of the wheel it has positive offset. If it is moved towards the inside of the wheel it has negative offset. Those wheels will fit your car and should look great!
