Well the 16x9's are on and shocks adjusted and no clearance issues so far ! Before I go for a test run I thought I would just ask , what tyre pressure do you guys use on yours ??

Cold From 22-26 depending how hard your going to drive them, Ideally your want 28-30 hot.

Thanks so far guys ! I only ask as I have 245's on the rear with plenty of clearance so no issues there, just wondered if the pressure needed to be different on the 245's ?

Cold 19 or 20psi front and rear - fronts are 225's.

They wear very slightly more on the edges but I like the grip I get.

Not the same size.. 9x17 on mine with 245 Pirellis, but I usually have 28-30psi in mine.

Sometimes I get mine back from the tyre fitters with 30psi in them, and it's like driving on ice!

Why not try letting some out, OK not as low as I go but about 22, give it a go, the difference will amaze you.

Higher pressures are probably better for top speed, though.

Mine came back with high pressures from the fitters.

As I was quite new to the car I didn't know any better. But when I got around to reducing the pressures it made a massive difference.

245s I ran 22 to 24 depending on what make of tyre,the newer toyos have softer sidewalls so I would go for 24psi
