really up to you depending on what you want from it.
If just looks then 18" would be my max.
If for handling 14-15" works.

Do you think 15" would look nice on a 95 civic??

Its your car you make the call. I had 17's on my EG hatch and it didnt rub at all. I had 18"s on my EK and now have 17"s ... Wheels size will definatly effect your ability to accellerate and decelerate though so keep that in mind. When I put my lightweight rimz on for racing it makes a world of difference. Its not the size of the rim that makes them look good or bad its what the rim looks like period.

Berz out.

I have/had 15's on my 94 civic and I though it was sweet... In my opinion you start to comprimise some of your ride quality/rim saftey if you go to a 16" or above and try to maintain stock tire diameter... just not enough rubber protection... But opinions are like @$$holes... Everyone has one and they all stink...
