Offset:This is how far the mounting surface of your wheel is from the "centerline" of the wheel. A more positive offset will cause your wheel to mount closer to the inside of your wheel wells. For Civics, it is a good idea to stay within the +35-45mm offset range when upgrading (thin wheels will be closer to +35mm, wide wheels will be closer to +45mm). A wrong offset can cause rubbing problems, either on the fender (offset too low) or on the inside of the wheel well (offset too high).

So it should be fine

i got told 40+ offset is find.. but my wheels are just inline with the guards. easily scraped against guyards.

37 offset maybe not a prefect fit for your civic
you need 40 or 42
