Stock wheels are 17x7 45mm offset.

If you go with a wider wheel than that with the same offset, they will stick out more than stock.
If you go with a smaller offset, they will also stick out more.
So you just have to figure out what wheel width you want, then figure out how much clearance you'll still have in order to pick the offset.

I believe the hub bore on the civic is 64.1mm, which means that you have to get a bore larger than that on your wheel, and you probably want to get hubcentric rings to make them easier to line up when they're installed.

And yes, 225/45/17 tires will fit on those 17x7.5's or those 17x8's.
