I have an accord 1996, and I need to change my tires. The size on my tires is p185/60R15, but the stock tires on accord 1996 should be p185/70R15. How do I find out if p185/70R15 will fit on my rims? I am not sure if my car has the original factory rims.

Hold the phone. Tire sizes vary on the 96 Accord depending on specific model.
The Wagon and EX with 4 cylinder engine use a 195/60R15 88H.
The LX with 4-cylinder engines uses a 185/65R15 88S
The LX and EX with V6 engine uses a P205/60R15 91V
This car should not have a P185/60R15 84 on it under any circumstances and P185/70R15 is for all intents and purposes a non-existant tire size - you'll never find one unless your searching for a specialty supplier to put tires on your 1970 Triumph TR6.
As long as the wheels are 15-inch diameter it doesn't matter if they are OE or not. You can still get the correct tire size on them.

the size really depends on if you have a DX, LX, or EX. The easiest way to see if they are stock, is to see if they have a Honda logo on them. The DX and LX will have the smaller size than the EX

R15 is your rim size. the 185/70 is the proportion of tread width to sidewall height. either of those sizes is close enugh to work!
the P just stands for passanger. if you look at a pickup truck it will say (LT) for light truck
