Offset can be positive or negative. A higher number offset (ie: 45mm) pulls the wheels more towards the center of the car. A lower offset (ie: 37mm) will push the wheels further out from the center of the car.

On a Civic you need a 7" wide wheel with a 42-44mm offset and 205/40x17" tires in most cases not to rub.

The offset and wheel size should be stamped on the inside of the wheel.
