You didn't mention tire size, but my BBS wheels are sized identically. I run 245/35-18 F and 265/35-18 R Dunlop Super Sport Race and use #34 of air pressure all 'round for the street.

If your using a wider tire than stock, and actually want to make your contact patch bigger, and take the full benefit of the new wider tire, you should run your pressure a little lower than stock.

I'm looking to pick a set of these as well. Anyone know where to get a good deal on these? www.edgeracing.com has some low prices, anyone know of any place lower?

You need to consider the load rating on the tire and adjust the pressure accordingly. I contacted Toyo when I got my 245/35 and 275/35 T-1s 19's.....they told me at least 36 in the front and at least 38 in the rears.

Weight distribution will change if you carry 10 bags of groceries (or an insane body kit...).
Regardless, starting from the OEM pressure and adjusting plus or minus is a good way to go.

edgeracing didn't have the rear size that I wanted, and had no idea when they would get it in. Also, since we are both in FL, I was having to pay tax through them
