Correct PSI on 20" Vossen CV3

I need help with the correct PSI on Vossen CV3s +32 - 245/35/20 NITTO 555 Front and +45 275/30/20 NITTO Rear. I am dropped on Eibach PK.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

<I searched for the answer in the forum but no luck >

The wheels and tires you have make little difference on the air pressure required for your tires. The recommended pressure is on a placard in the door jamb. You can increase it slightly if you like (1-2 PSI) for heavier loads or if your tires have a very soft sidewall.

DO NOT inflate tires to the maximum PSI on the sidewall of the tires.

I used to have 18" stokies. The door jam show 32 which I think is little low. I put 35 now but not sure if that's the right PSI.
Thank you for the input tho.

How you liking your M370?

35 isn't too much.

I don't have it yet. But I probably won't install it anyway until my turbo parts arrive and install all the mods then.

When I had my TPMS sensors they seemed to turn the warning light on when I filled to 32 psi, never had any issues w/ them once I kept them at 35psi.

Nepal I have CV'5s 255/30/20's and run 35psi... though says 42psi to 50max I'm stretching so the shop that installed my set up did 35psi and not one issue ...
WARNED me if taking it to 40+ and hitting a pot hole or dip wrong I'd pop it... so 35psi it is...
