My '96 has 16 in. Speedlines (And hence, I assume Lower Profile rubber). The std was 15 in. Checking the recommended tyre pressures on front door sticker, it occured to me, they're larger rims! <Flash Light Bulb here>
Here comes the question.
Do I keep the same pressures as recommended on the sticker despite having less volume to fill, OR do I need to drop it some and by how much?

In general tyre pressure is the same regardless what tyre size you use.
You measure pressure not amout of air
Above is a very general statement. If you go for lower profile tyres you will normally ingrease the pressure a bit.
