I'm afraid I don't know. I once read in _european car_ that the optimum
PSI was unrelated to tire/wheel size; IOW, when going to larger wheels
or wider tires, the OEM recommended tire pressures were still valid!
Surely one of our SCCA guys can comment?

To determine optimal tire pressure:
Run the car hard through a series of turns, quickly take accurate temp
measurements across the tires before they can cool. Equal (or close) is
good.
