Hi folks, This is my first post. I've been trolling around here for a while. Nice to meet you. Please tell me: What should the correct tire pressure be for 20x9 in front and 20x10 in the rear? I've gotten so many different answers, I'm sure I'll get so many more here. Thanks in advance.

Whats the MAX pressure listed on the wheel? 51 PSI? If so start with 38 to 40 PSI and see how you like it and then go from there adjusting it. I personally dont believe in a "SET" pressure. I usually like running a little higher than whats recommended on the door sills. The driving feel is better to me.

Like for the 545 stock 124 rims I'm running 38 front and 42 rear... some will argue that thats too high but seems ok to me and I like it so far... if I notice uneven tire wear I'll adjust it so far its ok with only 800 miles on it.
