my tanks top out at 175 psi, I think 300 rating on the lines would be more than enough. When the tanks are full I can raise the car 2 times before the tanks need to fill up again, and even then they only drop down to about 110 psi. I think the max on a system is 200 psi.

you need to check your compressors to see how much they can handle. also, pumping a tank to 200 psi will make the compressors work harder than filling to 175, which is usually more than enough for a system. different pressure switches can be had to accomplish different tank filling pressures.

I will be changing my 165 on/200 off switch to something lower in the coming weeks. my riding pressure is around 105-110, and full down is about 70-75, so its good

300psi air lines are more than enough.
