Stickied at the top of this forum is a topic:

It says:

What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using.

<FONT SIZE="4">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
</FONT>

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>

I would get 15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels for your 195/50-15 tires. 15x7 will look too stretched.

your width and offset depends on the look your going for, some guys are running 15x7 and a +15 or even a +0. there is some pics on here of ef's and da's w/rwd offsets it looks dope in my opinion. check it out under pic request.

No, they won't. Not with some camber and a fender pull.

For a pre-'96 Civic, don't go wider than 15x6.5 (and 15x6 is even better). As noted above, you'll need 195/50-15 tires; they will look too stretched on 15x7.

15x7 will work just fine with the right offset. But a 15x6.5 or 15x6 would be prefered for your application. 35mm to a 45mm offset would be ideal
