Tyre pressure different with bigger wheels ?

I will be putting on 17" Enkei's this weekend and I would need to know what is the optimum or normal tyre pressure to run on them ? Is is the same as stoc?

It may sound like a stupid question, but I never had a car with 17" wheels before :P

Same principles as stock apply. Howard Coleman recommends something around 30 or 32 front and 28 or 30 rear (can't remember exactly). Check the pressures when cold - i.e. in the morning after the car has been sitting all night. Start with that and play with a few pressures a bit if you like.
