> Wider wheels ... lower tire pressures?

I changed the wheels on my 914/6 track car from 16 x 7/8 to 16 x 8/9 while retaining the same tires (Yokohama a032r 225/50/16 & 245/45/16.

I was running 27psi front and 29psi rear with the 7" and 8" wheels. Will the tires need less or more tire pressure with the wider wheels?

Another tire pressure question: Should tire pressures be increased or decreased for wet weather track use?

Thanks

Eddie
