5.5 is the rim width, 15 is the mag size, and the pcd is the offset distance between the studs

15 in is diameter
5.5 width as stated
pcd = pitch circle diameter which means the diameter of the circle which would be theoretically drawn through the studs (5x205 = 5 stud at 205mm [early vw/porsche]; 5x130 = 5 stud at 130mm [porsche])

Try popping in "wheel offset" into google.com or similar search engine for heaps more info.

130 4 stud PCD will fit any 4 stud VW and 4 stud Porsche. 112 will fit some Mercedes, and 4.5 and 5.5 will fit on a beetle without narrowing the beam, unless the wrong OFFSET wheels are used.
