Default Best Tire Brand/ Tire Size for Lowered EG

Hey guys I just picked up a set of 15" 5.5" Width Steelies from a seller on Craigslist and I'm looking for some nice All-Season tires to throw on them. Now my car is lowered on Eibach Sport Suspension Springs/Shocks/Struts 1.6" Drop so I'm looking for a nice tire size that will look good with a little less sidewall and still keep as little wheel gap as possible. Im currently on 14" 5" Width 175/65/14R.

Much Appreciated

the proper tire size for EG civics is 195/50/15. regardless of what modifications are done to the car. integras use a different tire size.

from the FAQ:
For a CRX, del sol, del sol Si, 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

a taller tire is more likely to rub.
