thoughts about track rims and tyres

265 is too wide for a 9" wheel really (same for a 250 slick), look at the shape they make on the wheel and how the car looks to falls over the tyre when cornering.

9.5 is IMO the ideal wheel width but 10" are more common (Rays are a good 9.5 option but expensive). Pro Race 1.3 available in 10" and the tyre won't move about so much.

If you are sticking with 19" just stick with the CSL wheel unless you want to spend a fortune on nice BBS or Rays rims.

PS. Remortgage and get 18x10 BBS E88 all round and I may want to marry you.
