Tyre pressures can vary depending upon your driving style, use of vehicle and weight of vehicle, but you'll find the average will be about 28 psi at the front and 26 at the back... If you find the steering a little heavy, then put a couple more psi in the front and vice versa if you start experiencing undue understeer...

Torque for alloy wheels is around 40lbft as an average.

okay thanks alot.

As GW says, if you think about it the tyres have much less effect on the pressure than the car they are carrying (it's the weight of the car that makes 'em flat on the bottom). Wheel nut torque could be very different depending on the style of wheel nut.

ah okay i was asking as they are currently at around 30 psi and still appear to be bulging at the bottom and i didn't think this was correct. also what are the different styles of wheel nut? mine look roughly like this (http://www.minispare...id=33494&title=) thanks alot.
