The only time I had a problem with ABS/TC was when the idiots at the Ford dealership put my 18's in the front and the 17's in the rear (after I told them to NOT rotate the tires). TC light kept coming on while driving home. Went right back and made them change them back. No problems since, and my tires are not the same height as stock, or front to back!

triggz said:Well, then you did have problems due to mismatched tire size. Right?
That was my point.
Only when the idiots put the bigger tires in the front.
If it can cause problems that way, it's possible with enough difference to cause problems the other way.
Yup.... Remember if you put 18's in back they will fill up the rear fender gap a bit more than the 17" rims in front. and then you'd have to get thinner deck hight tires n the rear if your car doesnt have a raked stance. Make sure you go with a raked stance if you're gonna do that or it'll look like its lower in back.jasonh_86 said:If it's got the right suspension heights...

It's possible that the world will implode today too, better run and hide!
On cars and trucks that have antilock brakes (ABS) equipped cars and trucks, most vehicle manufacturers say replacement tires should be the same size as the originals. This is necessary because the diameter of the tire affects how the wheel speed sensors read, which in turn affect the operation of the ABS (and traction control) system. Changing to a larger or smaller diameter tire, or installing different sized tires front and rear can upset the operation of the ABS system. This may create braking problems and/or cause the ABS warning light to come on (which means the system is deactivated).
