You - and everyone, with or without IBS - should be eating as much insoluble fiber AS THEY CAN TOLERATE. That amount will vary tremendously from person to person, and even with the same person depending on other factors, stress in their life, etc.
If you are finely chopping, pureeing, blending, cooking, etc. the peels, that will really break down the insoluble fiber before you eat it, and make it much less likely to cause pain. But how much, exactly, you can eat is going to take some careful, cautious trial and error on your part.
I'm so sorry, IBS is just not a math equation, and there is no way to solve it with hard numbers. Start with small amounts of peels, always with a soluble fiber foundation, and see how you do. Then gradually increase.
Best,
