5th and 6th gen Civics look GREAT with 15s...not much gappage and the wheel wells are just the right size. I actually took my 17s off my 97 hatch because it was just too big, IMO. But the 01s+ have monstrous wells for the size of the car, so you do need to go a bit bigger in most cases, 16-18. Anything more looks kinda poser, to me at least.
19s on a Civic is amazing - gopeds must be getting more speeding tickets. Now that's amazing.
I don't think the ES and EM2 Civics have big wheel wells compared to the EP3 and RSX. Sure the 7th gens do have bigger wheel wells compared to the previous gens (especially 5th) but the Civic is not becoming a smaller car either.
Tire sizes for 15s? If you're at stock height with low profile tires, you will still make the tire and wheel combo look tiny. 225 would probably never work if the car was lowered too low and 215 would already be pushing it. I'd go for the 215 if you're runnin 15x6.5s or 15x7s.
I dunno, it just seems like (almost) everything comes out better in the looks department once you lower the car

yea some 15's look nice on our cars. i personally like the rota slipstreams 15". they look so freakin hot when the car is slam-ed . . . i'm actually trying to sell my 17"s so i can get some 15" rotas.
