I've seen oscars in 55g tanks...and it's not a pretty sight. Oscars tend to be more active and healthy in tanks such as 90g standards or larger.
If you are interested in cichlids for a 55g tank, take a look around for something that maxes out at around 8-9". There are a lot of options out there that fit this criteria; far too many to try and list. I hope that at least gets you started.

Anytime. Some nice cichlids for a 55g tank could include firemouths, convicts, jewel cichlids, keyhole cichlids, rams, or kribensis. See if any of them suit your fancy.
Nandopsis Cichlasoma 'Salvini' are awesome fish. I love mine.
