i think thats too much to pay without getting tires too. and personally i dont like such a thick center in a wheel. but its your car, do what you think is best!

rears shooooould be ok.
i'd be concerned about fronts being 9.5s +34. its kinda wide w/a lower offset up front...but philly u know me, i'm no wheel pro. i'm sure others will chime in to shed clearer light for ya

btw, wheels look nice

I am not sure about the Fronts, I am running 19x9.5 +37 in the rear with no problems. I have a 19x8.5 +36 in the front but could be a bit more aggressive with the offset.

If my math is correct; An inch wider wheel should be .5 inche wider on out side of the wheel and .5 inch wider on the inside of the wheel. .5 inches = 12.7mm so that would be the equivilant of an 20x8.5 +23 which is pretty agressive in my opinion. You may have to do fender mods for the front.
