As the offset is quoted in ET mm I would have a look at this link.
https://www.performancealloys.com/alloy-wheels-offset
Even though it relates to alloy wheels the basic information is the same.
If you want 5.5 " wide wheels I would be looking for 5.5J wheels.
The 5.5J wheels are a known quantity and will fit.
I have got 7J wheels on my Minor and they fit. The rear has to have a 3/8" spacer between wheel and hub.
