You will have to drop the tyre wide to 185 if you keep on 18 inch wheels.

225 / 45 R18 is 777 revs per mile
185 / 55 R18 is 776 revs per mile

See: https://tiresize.com

Compatible / factory wheel sizes are:

215 / 60 R16 95H
215 / 55 R17 94V
225 / 45 R18 91V

Will 185s fit the rim width securely?

Will the 185s look any different

Well they will look and be thinner.

I think a 185 is not possible due to rim with. Fro a 185 tyre recommend rim width is 6 inches

See: https://tiregrades.com/tire-anatomy/tire-size/min-max-tire-size-for-rim-width/

For a 225 tyre the minimum rim width is 7 inches. Recommended is 7.5 to 8.

I don't know what the 500X 18 inch wheel rim width as factory fitted is.
