Icon2 96 accord lx tires/rims

I've been considering on buying rota slipstream on my 96 lx accord and I've been looking at some rims and there's a lot of specifications that I do not understand. If anyone with knowledge of these things, can you please tell me what each one means and what you would suggest I would want to get to reach a really smooth ride from them.
Here are some examples I've seen but really don't understand what I'm reading:
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (5x114.3mm+48mm, 73 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (4x100+45mm, 67.1 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (4x114.3mm+45mm, Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (5x114.3mm+45mm, 73 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x8 (5x100+48mm, 56.1 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x8 (5x114.3+48mm, 56.1 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x8.5 (5x100+48mm, 56.1 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x8.5 (5x114.3+48mm, 56.1 Hub)
ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x8.5 (5x114.3+48mm, 73 Hub)

Ok, reading this one: ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (5x114.3mm+48mm, 73 Hub). Going straight across:

17 is the size of the rim, 7.5 is the width of the rim. Now, going into the parentheses; 5 is 5 lug studs, 114.3mm is the distance between each studs, +48mm is the wheel offset from the hub, and then 73 Hub is the hub bore size(where the axle nut is).

None of these rims will fit your 96 Accord cause it's a 4 lugs and not a 5. You want 4x114.3 for your Accord cause it'll fit.
