Hi guys, I got some 180 wheels on my car, not sure on the size tyres but i assume all tyres should be the same, what i'm wanting to find out is what the pressure should be?

Well if you have one Vortex with a 16" tyre fitted then your in trouble 
Tyre pressures will be the same as before.

find your tyres always wear in the centre and have a really hard ride by any chance?
