Nope. They would both fit on the 6.5" rims you have. And the only real
problem with running them on the 5.5 would be tread wear due to the
narrow rim..
However I wouldn't want to run the 185/60 on the wider rim. No sidewall
protection and you would probably have problems with the bead staying
seated as well.
