50/195/15or16 tires you're best bet. If you want negative offset, then you have a lot more issues to work out.

15's or 16's should be great on the car.
195/50/15 for 16 maybe go with a 45.

If you care at all about your rims, stick to at least a 50, 55 isnt too bad either.

Def go with 205/40-16. Mine come in tomorrow. Dr23's black with red lip. My 95 coupe is lowered about 1.5 inches you should be fine, make sure you get it aligned(front and back) right after u get them if not they may wear out unevenly and wont last that long.
