Default Best size wheels for EF civic

Ok guys, I just picked up an 88 EF civic with a B16 and was thinking of making it my daily/ occasional track dog. I was wondering what size rims would be the best for road racing and around town sprints?

I was thinking a 15X8 or max a 16, give me a hint.

Match your wheels to your brakes. You know why Porsches have bigass wheels? Even though they have big wheels they just barely clear the brakes. Big wheels = more inertia and more $$$ for tires.

What he said. Here's a shot of my car before I lowered it so you can get an idea of what 15x7 wheels with 205/50's on them looks like.
