Can someone confirm the correct pressures for these tyres?

You’d think 30psi would normally be correct?
I've always put between 32-34 psi in all my cars. VR6, Polo etc.... Since this tips the scale at about all of my cars I have ever owned combined.... I would dream of running them anywhere near 30.

Pressure stated on the petrol flap is 42 psi and goes up even more depending on how many people you carry, right up to 52 psi.

Take them off if you don't need them and see if it still rubs or reduce the thickness if you need to clear your callipers. I use 4mm spacers for my 20's to just to clear my callipers.

Sounds like his problem is resolved with the correct tyre pressure anyway.

Not quite... still a rub when going over speed bumps dam, anyway going to adjust suspension and see what happens and if that dosent sort it then new spacers is it but really like how it sits just now.
