tire pressure question

My new car came with the stock wheels and a set on 20s. I plan on putting the 20s on my jeep grand cherokee over the weekend.2 of the wheels need tires which im getting tomorrow. But i was wondering about tire pressure.
The back of the wheel says 60 psi. Is that what goes on the tire or is it the normal of around 32 psi? The tire size on the wheels are 225/35/20.
Also since im putting the wheels on my jeep should i go with a bigger tire and buy all 4 or should i just replace the 2 bad ones. Ive never had big wheels on a car before and since i have them i might aswell use them since they will fit both vehicles.
If i keep the same tire size will i have much of a speedo problem from going from a 235/65/17 to the 225/35/20

That's the fastest way i know to just destroy the suspension, ride, handling and steering linkage of the vehicle.

Everyones after the "look". And you will prob. do it regardless to our advise . My own son has 27's on his dodge 3500 dually(groan). This required the purchase of a $700 reprogrammer to make it drivable again. You will have the problems that HAMMER TIME has named ,plus,driveabilty troubles.Besides speedometer error and shift points,your gas mileage will go down the drain >>>>>>>>>Have you checked gas prices in the last hour ???<<<<<<<<<<<

Totally agree with HT on this. OE spec wheels/tires are well thought out and IMO shouldn't mess with that,

Ok i understand what you guys are saying. The wheels and tires put side by side with the oem are smaller from ground to top. And 27s are just dumb. And my tire pressure question wasnt answered. I know what gas prices are this is not a everyday vehicle.

I can't know the tire pressure for non OE size tires. PSI suggestions are for OE tires. If smaller rubber may need more and more rubber touching road - less or handling would be screwed up. Hey - do what you want but expect disappointments or worse, handling so bad it could be a hazard,

As for tire pressure . Run whatever is stamped on the sidewall . Monitor your tire wear and adjust slightly according to wear.,
