Default r888 tire pressures

Hello Everyone,

I am running a set of r888's on my c6 for an autocross club and am having a tough time getting the tire pressures correct. I found this forum post a while back on another forum about how the tires perform better at higher pressures than recommended by Toyo:

Any advice about this subject would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Stock wheel sizes all around but the tires are slightly larger than stock

Anyone use R888 on stock size C6Z wheels, and what size you use for the rear?
R888 don't have the rear size for the Z, the closest they have is 305/30/19 with max rim width 11.5", but the stock rear rim is 12" wide!!!!
