Default Looking for new Wheel and tire size?

Im looking to buy a new set of rims and tires, now i have a set of slip 15' with 205/50/15,

What would you guys say look best and handle /Performance on a 92 Eg Si. Hatch.

15' or 16' This is my main problem and question.

Thanks all I know if i went with 16 i cant tuck the 205 but that the reason for the 16 increase so i don't need to lower the car. My car has a full Skunk 2 kit all around.

For performance, you're better off choosing 15" wheels. The tire options are far more plentiful, then that of the 16" wheels. Also, you'd be looking at a better sidewall height then that of the 16" tire options that fit your car properly.

What would be difference between 16 on a EG Vs EK, a friend off mine had 16 subzero on his ek and it looked good and handled great?

There is a difference in OEM tire sizing, as well as the overall clearance for a 16" wheel is much greater in the 6th Generation Civic, as opposed to a 5th Generation Civic.
