6.5 is ideal, 5.5 minimum

No it won't work. A general rule of thumb is that whatever the width of the wheel is, subtract 4" from it and that will give the absolute minimum BS you can use. This is only for approximation, but if the width of the wheel minus the BS gives a value greater than 4" the wheel will stick out of the outer fender.
