Andys look great for the summer. As for the wheels just get all new outer barrels be the cheapest way. If you go threw Work it about $400 each. But if you go after market one its about $250 each. You can take your rear as a whole barrel to the front but if you dont buy from works and go after market it gonna be two different lip style front to rear. As the aftermarket lip are rounded edge not flat style like orginal works make. That being said if you get the new lips to add 1inch on each front becomes 19x9.5 +14 rear becomes 19x10.5+20.

Since you have 3 piece wheels you can put ur current lips from the back in the front and buy two new 10.5 from work to go in the back, although they are quite expensive. But 45 is not aggresive at all soo you might just sell these and buy new wheels.
will adding a inch bigger on the rear make the lip 1 inch bigger?
thats just my main goal i just want the back wheels to be flush and a little bigger of a lip so can i just buy 2 new lips to make my wheel a inch wider? so will that make my lip a inch wider?

I would leave it as it is...

too wide means, rolling fenders, rubbing issues, rashing wheels and IMO.. not so worth it..

your car looks good & clean AS IS =)
