Stickied at the top of this forum, where only the most clueless couldn't find it , is the topic:

Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING

It says:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"><FONT SIZE="4">FAQ</FONT>

What size tires should I get?

<FONT SIZE="4">The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using.</FONT>

For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16
17" - 205/40/17
</TD></TR></TABLE>

So unless you want to tell us what kind of car (model, year, version) the tires are going on, your question doesn't provide enough information to answer.

And remember, if you're looking for better performance, the biggest factor is what kind (make/model) of tires you get, not how wide they are. So concentrate on buying better, stickier tires, not wider tires. For example, on an '88-91 Civic for street use, your best performance will come from the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/40-16 (or, for a longer-lasting tire that also does well in rain, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in 195/45-16).
