Hi I suppose it varies but I have ordinary steel wheels that were on as standard I have 215's all round and put 32 front 34 rear. There should be loads on it in the weird search facility. Hope it helps. Happy motoring

Try "psi" in the search - there are many relevant threads listed

Its relative to the weight of the vehicle to get the right handling

speaking of your wheels dave, did you get your brakes checked or are they ok now? has the rust on the passenger side disks gone now, or was it the drivers side?

Checked em often since then and its a strange one.
They all get shiny with use and this is to be expected.
But if I dont use the van for a couple of days, its the drivers side that colour up with rust first.
Might be that the passenger side got coated with cooland when the rad cap failed, but it has me stumped.
Might also be that I park with the passenger side sheltered.
Just dont know.
Although it brakes fine and straight.

It is perfectly normal for discs to 'rust up ' as mentioned. It is not just a Bongo thing. They are just big lumps of steel at the end of the day!
Ford Mondeos are very good at it........don't worry!

Yes, perfectly normal. The slightest moisture in the air (e.g. dew) will spot them with rust, it does not have to have been raining. And yes, often one side is more prone depending on exposure, wind direction etc.
There is a Toyota dealership at the top of my road. They havebrand new cars in the open which are immaculate apart from rust on the discs! Depending on the exact construction, some discs are more prone than others.
Nothing to worry about.
