I'm coming from 17" wheels and the door says
35 front
37 rear
Same numbers with the 18" factory rims?

Ok thanks,those are the numbers I will use.
I would think 42lbs would cause a real rough ride.

The manual states that you can go up +7 psi if you do driving over 100 mph.

Your ideal pressure is just that....yours . It all depends on how you want your car to ride/handle and on the outside temperatures.

Using manufacturer's recommendations 35f/37r. Could go higher but I'm already riding on Eibach ProKit. Higher PSI = stiffer ride.
