I think its more dependent on the vehicle (i.e. size and weight) rather than the size of the rims. So the manufacturers handbook would be the best place to look. The tyres will give you the maximum inflation, but you obviously shouldn't fill them that much. About 33psi is the norm, you will obviously want to top up a bit if you load your car with a lot of weight. Kwik-fit will advise, they have a tool, just enter your reg and they will give you manufactures guidelines.

It also depends on the load rating. I have toyo t1r's all round on my JTD, and my tyre pressures are 38psi on the front and 34psi on the rear. I used to have 34psi all round on my previous tyres and i ended up with uneven tyre wear.
