Default Tyre pressures for aftermarket wheels/tyres

Can't really find a definitive answer to this online, so thought I'd ask here.

I recently got some different wheels for my new car but have no idea what the correct tyre pressures should be with after-market wheels and tyre sizes.

I assume the speed rating and load rating are all important but obviously it isn't now as simple as looking in the manual or the door sill for the correct tyre pressures. Pumped them up to 30psi for now.

Old size was a rather puny 205/50/16", new size is 235/30/19" on the front and 265/30/19" on the rear with BBS LM-R rims.
