For snow tires, I use a set of 14x5.5" EX steelies and run 195/60-14s. For summer tires, I run the stock 15x6" alloys with 205/50-15s.

for snow, i'd have to say get the skinnier tire, wide tires don't cut into the snow as well.

This is 100% true. For all of you Southern California people giving advice, keep in mind he is asking about SNOW tires.

umm, you want taller, narrower tires for snow.

you'd do fine with a 185/60 also

That's the stock size for all the other '96-00 Civics with 14" wheels, so I don't see any problem with it.
