The best tire size depends on which version '96 Civic you have, because different versions came with different tire sizes from the factory that year. If you have a hatchback or a DX coupe or DX sedan, get 195/50-15. If you have any other model, get either 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.

The 205/50-15 has a slightly shorter sidewall than the 195/55-15. But you can use either, and the differences between the two are quite small. For 15x7 wheels, I would go with the 205/50-15 because it won't look quite as stretched as the 195/55-15.
