The rule of thumb is to add the width of the spacer to the length of the original bolt. Better to be too big than too small. You will see on the bolts you have been using where the threads have reached. Replace a bolt without the wheel on to check there is enough clearance for the extra 3mm.
The only 37mm bolts i have come across are for Porche's or Bwm's wouldn't they do if they where 5x112
Factory bolts are 27mm so if you've moved to a 10mm spacer then the 37mm bolts should be fine...
Factory bolts are M14x1.5 R13 27mm radius seat. Other manufacturers (inc BMW) are different.

Sorry, miss read your original post.
When I fitted 12.5mm spacers I went for these https://www.performancealloys.com/italian-bolt-s17d37-r13 (they had no 4omm in stock at the time)
For locking nuts I went for these on amazon - 28044SUB
