185mm is a bit of an own standard for Avid. Some aftermarket companies do them, some don't. Most often, a disc of the same size will fit. Be aware though that this is not always the case and, unless you're perhaps talking about floating discs, there's not really any concrete list of what fits what. But... generally different manufacturers in the same size works.

Are you sure the smaller disk is on the front ? usually the front is bigger as that does most of the braking.

If you're swapping rotors for one of the same size they should just fit straight in. You may have to re-centre your caliper which is done by backing off the bolts top & bottom, squeeze the lever and re-tighten the bolts.

185 is an odd size. I'd suggest buying a 180 rotor and a new adaptor to suit, Superstar sell the adaptors for a fiver !

If you can only get a 180mm disc, then get a new adaptor. Think Formula ones will fit Avid brakes.

on the 160 side not all rotors are the same thickness are they??
