With that much wheat I'd try and do a wheat beer of sorts, but your yeas limits you more toward the American variety.
Found this recipe that might work using the WLP051 instead of the US-05:
American Wheat
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.052 (12.8 °P)
FG = 1.012 (3.0 °P)
IBU = 20 SRM = 4 ABV = 5.3%
Ingredients
5 lb. 5 oz. (2.4 kg) Great Western wheat malt (or similar) (2 °L)
2 lb. 10 oz. (1.2 kg) Great Western American two-row malt (or similar) (2 °L)
2 lb. 10 oz. (1.2 kg) Durst continental Pilsner malt or similar (2 °L)
4.15 AAU Willamette pellet hops (0.83 oz./24 g of 5% alpha acids) (60 min.)
2.25 AAU Centennial pellet hops, (0.25 oz./7 g of 9% alpha acids) (0 min.)
1.25 Willamette pellet hops, (0.25 oz./7 g of 5% alpha acids) (0 min.)
White Labs WLP320 (American Hefeweizen), Wyeast 1010 (American Wheat) or Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast

If you're short on the 2-row and pilsen, the honey malt might give you some added complexity for the remainder of the grain bill. Could even make it a hoppy wheat ale if you want to use those extra hops you have.

.5 pilsen
1.3 2 row
2 honey malt
13 oz oats
.8 perle
.5 cent. 1 oz amarillo @ 10
.5 cent. 1 oz amarillo @ hopstand
Got er mashing now and the 051 spinning. Feels nice to empty out my grain bin to tell ya the truth it was getting a bit clustered.
