Looking to get 19"'s straight on the E86, i have got the car at a great price which gives me the budget.
Other than buying the wheels and tyres, do i need to buy eibach's and spacers?
Interesting in new or old (refurbs)

Either of the above fitment works fine providing the Et or offsets are not under 35 .
Once you have the actual wheel widths & offsets then tyre sizes can be worked out

Onto a Si Sport E86 I would be fitting 255 35 rears & 215 35 fronts .
You can get away with 225 35 19 99% of the time but on spirited drives possibly minor rubbing in bends on full compression .

Update*
Spoke to the nice chap at CM Wheels, they dont have any of the 8j 9j riva csl's anymore.
He recommended 8.5j (ET38) Front 9.5j rear (ET4)

He does them for £500 all in for the forum members.
235 35 19 front
365 30 19 rear
Does that make sense to anyone?

365 rear doesn't make sense - maybe just a typo on your post?
I'd stand back and wait for Mr Wilks to comment as the E86 wheel & tyre guru!

he said that the /35 or /30 is a % of the tyre exposure from the rim. so 30 on 265 and 35 on 235 is roughly the same. 35/265 he said would be thicker than the fronts. I have no idea its just what he said.

As per Jamie's reply, don't go above 225 on the front. If you lower it, you'll get rubbing and it'll drive you mad...
