Alex pretty much covered it. You won't feel any difference at all with the extra .5" width. On the 8.5" wheels, the flange will be closer to flush with the plane of the fender so it should look a little better. For the most part upgrading the wheels on your car will be mostly a cosmetic mod.

Upgrading the tire compound will give you a much bigger performance improvement than adding an additional .5" of width as well. You'll definitely feel sticker tires, but for a daily driver even that may not be necessary.
