Dude... save your $$$ and just use it on a blower. You'll be utterly more satisfied. Besides, you already have Niche wheels (new or replaced from accident). As to the wheel itself you posted, what's the offsets for the fronts and rears??? I want to know how wide a tire they can fit on either. It's all about the offsets.
Niches are nothing to write home about. They're still cheap Chinese cast aluminum in my eyes, which is why I planned to run them as my "winter" wheels that I drive through the rain on. I'm most likely picking up some Steeda Spyders, 20" staggered, that I'm going to have custom powder coated. I don't need a blower right now lol. I need to get my power that I have to the ground! And better looks!
Blower next year...

Blower coming this summer for me....then I'll be all upset that I can't use it until I get better tires. I can't turn it down though...not everyday that the wife offers to buy a supercharger as a BD gift.

I'm kinda torn on spending the money on a Whipple or KB, versus doing the CJ intake and Kooks LTs, catted H-pipe and side pipes, and a different axleback. Guys with that setup are putting down 475whp...I already have more power than I know what to do with. I think a 550hp N/A car that revs to 8k might be just enough fun for me, even though it won't have the blower noise...

I know, right? 
Joe, you know that folks who ask this question haven't driven one with a big blower on it, right? lol... kidding. But to answer your question of "need', no, no one "needs" more than 400hp. But it sure is nice and fun to have. It totally changes the perception of "fun" in this car. Do I need it? no. Do I want it? hell yes.
One set of aftermarket wheels before a blower, a-ok. 2 sets of aftermarket wheels BEFORE a blower??? big no-no.
Seriously though dude, you're fine with your existing Niche's. Put that $$$ towards a blower. The dark side beckons. Answer its call.
I believe they're +40 front and +45 rear, off the top of my head. Your tires would work fine on them.
