Default Help with stock wheels for 96 Civic DX?

Hey guys,
New to the forum...I've got a question I hope someone can help me with.

My fiancee has a 1996 Civic DX with aftermarket rims and tires. Long story short, the rims are banged up, and the low profile tires (left front in particular) keep losing air and getting chewed up. So, I want to get stock wheels and tires back on this car for her.

However, I don't know what size wheel the stock rims were.

Can anyone help me out? Am I missing any other information I'd need before buying stock rims?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply, guys.

So, if the DXs came with 13 inch wheels, do I have to stay with that size? I found a local junkyard that has 4 14 inch wheels from a 2000 Civic, tires included.

^^14'' wheels/tires from that 2000 Civic should be just fine.
