Alot of people think if the overall diamter is the same or iif wheel is lighter (but larger in diameter) than stock then they won't lose acceleration, but they are wrong. Besides the stock bubble alloys or sport rims weigh 16 lbs, so they aren't heavy to begin with.
Larger rim thiner tire, shouldn't it all even out?

I think you have a nice plan there. Most people do the I/H/E setup first and then move on to other things.

My order would be:
CAI
UDP
Header
Mopar PCM
Springs/Struts

Then it would be time to dig into the engine for more power, if wanted/needed.
