Wider is always better for grip and traction. How ever there can be some major price differences between 205/50s and 195/50s so it's up to you if your price concerned, however wider is always better.

i would run 205x50x15 i had them on my ride, but had to switch to 195 because with people in the back the rubbed the inner wall..... BUT it was olny because of my drop. So what i am getting at, is if you dont have a 6 1/2 drop. RUN 205's... they look really good from behind

strictly from a plus-sizing standpoint and keeping odo, speedo, and gearing as close as possible to stock, 195/50 is the proper size for 92-95 Civics, and 205/50 is the proper size for 96-00 Civics. I believe 92-95 came w/ 185/60-14 tires, while 96-00 had 185/65-14 tires, so there is the difference.
