Default tire/rim width on a eg coupe??

i am currently installing a nos kit on my 95 civic with a swapped zc... my question is this... how wide can i go when i buy a set of 15" slipstream rotas? i have seen 8" wide rims and was wondering if that was a good width, or should i go smaller? thanks anything would help

what does nos have anything to do with your tires? why state things that are totally irrelevant? oh your cool because you have nos now?

that post was useless. try again......and for the OP. we dont care if you have "NOS". you asked about wheels. everyone has got something to be a dick about. i have 15x7 with 195 50s. they are narrow, but i hate beefy tires, lol. goodluck

i got the 15x6.5 lil less weight, and can fit about the same size tire as the 7inch. im running 195/50's on mine, and they SUCK BALLS...do nothing but roast...will be putting 215 on next. and hopefully a taller sidewall.
