The 15x9 w/ a 5.5 b/s will stick out a hair. I run a 17x9 w/ a 6.0 b/s and it fits perfect. My taste, I don't like wheels that stick out. Plus you have to worry about the fenderwell rubbing.

I want to say 6" or 6 1/2" but I don't recall...sorry.

It does take some inner fender well "modification" to avoid the tire rub issue.
