Best way to find out is call the company that makes your tires and ask them recommended psi for your size tire. It all depends on the footprint of your tire, meaning amount of tire contacting the ground at any given time. You cannot go by stock tire sizes because it is completely different size.
Why not read what it says on the sidewall which is what the manufacturer recommends?
The tire pressure number you see on the sidewall is its maximum pressure used to determine the tire’s overall diameter at full inflation, and has nothing to do with the pressure you use on your Z.
Regardless of the tire brand (and its maximum pressure value), you inflate your tires to the psi that Nissan recommends for the Z.
Davidv posts the correct information here. Inflate your Z tires to 35 psi.

I know my Vredesteins say the max is 51 psi but mine arent that high. I also cant remember but I think my stock tires on my 03 had a max of 51 but neither is actually inflated that high. But if both have the same max you should have an idea of the ride on both. Remember one thing though with the 20" tires you have a smaller sidewall so you might wanna run a lil more pressure.

+1. Look on the inside of your door panel where it contains the manufacturer's information. It should tell you the psi you should be running at. It's 35 psi.
