What tyres are on the car currently and do you have ABS?
In themselves the 185/55's will be fine as said, but I don't know how well the ABS system will cope with the ~2% difference in tire circumference if you're running the original 195/55's on the other axle. I imagine that'll just about be within tolerance (as it obviously has to allow for the different between new and worn tires) but certainly there's a limit as to what it'll tolerate before logging a fault.
(it's about 1.5% difference to the increasingly commonly used 195/50's for the sake of completeness)
