You can always go to a higher impedance speaker so it will be safe.
You will need to balance the level of the new speaker. Check the owners manual on how to do this.
Changing any one speaker but the subwoofer may not work well. It's important that the front three speakers be voiced to work together so using a better speaker for the center may offer clearer dialogue but not match the LR fronts well. Can't hurt anything by trying it.
