How hoppy do you want the beer to be? If you want to taste the rye you are fine as is, but when I think hoppy I go for a couple ounces at both flame-out and dry hop.
 
I'd throw in some rice hulls too. I agree with Oldsock on the hops. I just did a wheat that targeted 35 ibus and it came out nicely.
