Tire PSI after sizing up wheels?

I finally put my new wheels on yesterday, and I sized them up from the factory.

Factory:
225/40/19
255/35/19

Upgrade:
245/35/20
275/30/20

I found some info on tacomaworld.com/tirecalc that helped calculate the correct PSI, but I have no way of knowing if it's accurate.

Does anyone know if this is accurate or have another way to calculate it.

I’d be more concerned that your wheels/tyres don’t seem to fit inside the fender.

Recently fitted exactly the same tires. Started with little higher pressures, but currently testing 34/37 psi. So far, they seem to be a good pressures for daily driving.

I'm also currently at 34/38 for my square 255/35

It feels very comfortable and I think I may keep it there

Yes, my bigger problem is I purchased the wrong offset. The rear is +25... So without having to purchase new wheels I'm wondering if adjusting the camber a few degrees will solve the problem.
