Unhappy Wheels - Tires & Suspension Blues

I guess I'm just venting, but it seems like all the mod's I do on my SRT6 something just ain't right.

1 - Eibach springs, lowered the front too much and didn't lower the back enough. When test fitting my new wheels I found I have some tire rubbing issues with the OEM's, so I'm going to have to raise the front back up some.
2 - Ordered new 285/35/19's, ($860) for the back to get a wider look & fill up the difference of the front & rear fender well gap and they really don't look any wider than the 255's did on the car, but I do get better traction.
3 - Ordered new chrome wheels, 18's for the front & 19's for the back planning on using the front 225/40/18 OEM tire's. From checking tire site's a 225/40 would work fine on an 8.5 wheel, but I had a friend that just put his 225/40's on his new 8.5 wheels and they look like crap. So now I'm trying to get a pair of 245/35/18's for the front, ($652) and told up to 3 weeks to get them.
4 - The new wheels came in last week and one of them was damaged during shipping, so I'm still waiting on the wheel place to get that straightened out.
5 - When test fitting the new wheels on front, I found I was going to have to get a pair of 10mm spacers to get the center cap to go on the wheels. So I ordered all my lug bolts and spacers from Ezaccessories.com. they arrived yesterday. When I opened the box it had two boxes inside, one with lug bolts & one with spacers and no packing at all. Both boxes were busted open, the bolts are all scuffed up and some scratches and so were the spacers.
