Tire Size, does it matter?

If I'm replacing all 4 tires does it matter what size I get as long as it's not unreasonably too big or small? I thought I might as well go with a nicer look since I'm buying new tires. Or do I have to go with the standard size...15" rim diameter.

95' corolla btw.

Besides that, is plus-sizing just buying bigger tires and wheels?
