wat bout 205/40/17's

Depends on the weight of the Car, etc...
I had to keep 36-38 In my front tyres, and even at that they looked flat!
And they were 205/40's

But in most cars... 34 Front, 32 Rear (PSI)
Or Light cars like corsa etc 32 front, 30 Rear Couldnt be far wrong.

Yeah cause its Rear engined RWD... I didnt know they came with rims as small as 14's. 18's on the front and leave the 14's on the rear ...lol

Yer. 14s were stock from 1989-1991, they are woefully undersized, ive just bought a set of factory 15"s for $90nzd so im quite stoked. I'll just use the 14s for drag racing duty 8)
