Would I be arrested if I tried to set up payment plan for traffic tickets?
If you go to the courthouse to try to set up a payment plan to pay off traffic tickets will they arrest you because of warrants?
The tickets are over $5,000.

This is a tricky question to answer. I'm going to assume there are already warrant out for your arrest for failure to appear and the traffic tickets; in which case you will be arrested. The clerk of the courts to whom you will be paying the fines has no choice but to notify the police of your presents and that you have warrants.
What I suggest is that you contact a lawyer and as the lawyer to help you clear the warrants and set up a payment plan to pay off the traffic tickets. While I can't be certain a judge will accept this kind of plea it is reasonable but should be submitted to the judge by an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney contact the legal aid society in your court district and they will appoint one for you. If your attorney is successful in getting a judge to agree to this type of plan; make damn sure you payments are made and made on time each month until you have paid in full.
