There may be issues at higher speeds,especially when passing cars on the highway.

yes it will trigger your abs light. It sense the speed in all 4 wheels. I put my brother AR tourqe thrust 2s on with 295 45 16s on my rear and the light came on

also your speedo will be off. Taller the tire, the less your gear ratio is.
