Re: My '89 Honda Accord LXi
def not the right tire size. that last number has to match the wheel diameter. Double check that and come back.
as for which wheels/tires to go with, if you use that as your daily driver I would stick with either 15 or 16's. If you go 17's, the wheel and tires both are more expensive, and the ride quality will be reduced a bit.
Looks like you have a great base to start from there, or just keep as is and enjoy many years of reliable transportation. My only suggestion (based on personal experience), is that I would take off that Memphis banner on the windshield. Not because it looks like crap, because I don't think it looks bad at all (in fact, I kinda like it), but because you're basically putting a "STEAL ME" sign on it. No alarm in the world (again, trust me, I learned this the hard way) is going to stop someone that wants what's in your car bad enough.
I also hate to be the one pissin in someone's punch, but DO NOT put sprints on Toki's. You may get reviews from some that say the ride is great with that combo, but assuming the numbers we've collected are correct, the numbers don't lie, and the numbers don't match. You will blow your struts, and even if it 'feels' like your car is riding nice, get someone to follow you on the highway and through back roads and vid your car. I'm willing to guarantee with damn near 100% certainty, that you'll see the ass bobbing up and down within months of driving on that setup. Nail the brakes, and you'll see up the ass end of it in a hurry.

Re: My '89 Honda Accord LXi
I just got some HID's for it, a new shift bushing kit and a OEM sunroof visor. I havent got them in yet, but will get pics when I do. I'll be pulling the engine again, and when I do I wanna get 5th gear working. Does anyone have a link to a kit for just 5th gear?

The company I bought it from is replacing it for free, and once i get that engine its going to be torn int, head work is gong to be done, and all upgraded internals. NA baby!
