Get whichever one you want.

Note that the best matching tire sizes depends on which model '96 Civic Coupe you have. If it's the DX version, you should get 195/50-15 for 15", and 195/45-16 or 205/40-16 for 16". For the EX or HX versions, you should get 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 for 15", and 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 for 16".

Go with 16s. Not that much of a price difference. Get some coilovers and slam that bitch rite on top of the tires.

15 = too small, 17s = too big, 16 = just right

I have 17's on my 2000 civic and it looks great, but go for the 16's.
