Bought some 17 x 9 bullitts and 275/40/17 Nitto DRs today. I just noticed that the 17 x 9's with the 275 DRs are actually a little taller than the stock 17 x 8's with 245s on it. Maybe a 1/2 inch. Will this mismatch in diameter between the front tires and the rear tires cause me any problems with my traction control or ABS? Reason I ask is that I would think the ABS sensors would pick up the slightly different rotation ratio between the front and rear tires.

I guess I could just slap them on and try them, but I thought I'd check here first.

Also, what cold tire pressure should I run with these at the track, and do I need to worry about "heat cycling" my new Nittos?

Thanks. For you Central Ohio folks, I'll be at Marion International Raceway this Friday for T & T weather-permitting if anyone wants to meet me there.

Shouldn't cause any problems, a lot of guys are running the same setup.

The tire diameter on the nitto's should be slightly larger in diameter than a comparable 245 45 17 inch tire. You should be just fine. The overall diameter on the 275's is 25.63 inches, while the 245's are 25.71 inches. It's not really enough to make a difference.
