surely because the tyre size is r13 and your rims are 13, should mean they'll fit 
will fit fine though 
if you went lower for something like 155/165 you'll end up with stretch

From memory the standard size is 165/65/13 (correct me if I'm wrong) so 185/55 would be 2% smaller diameter. 185/60 would only be 1% larger, so that's what I'd go for. The other thing is whether the extra width will cause the rubber to rub on the arch liner.

Wider won't necessarily give you more grip, the contact patch is wider but thinner
