Yea you should set all files/directories to 555, only uploads directory should be with permission 775 so users can upload new files, also don't forget cache directory (if you have one), and plugin directory so that user can update and install plugins.

It is unusual. Generally, WordPress directory and folder permissions should be set to 755, and most file permissions need to be set to 644. These are also the file permissions that WordPress recommends you set for your site. These are also the permissions needed for WordPress auto update to function correctly.
