Default Tire Mismatch Question

I want to put 315 30 18 on the back of my car, will this cause any type of problem as far as handling or interfere with the active handling?


Should I also put a bigger size on the front?

I run IForged Seneka wheels ,F:18X9.5 R:19X10.
275/35/18 up front & 295/30/19 aft.Conti Sport 2's.

It's a good standard daily driver setup.You need to have an inch diff front to back to keep the abs/ah happy.

Diameter difference, not width difference is what is going to effect the AH/TCS systems on the car. That tire is almost an inch shorter than the stock 295/35/18, so it has a good chance of throwing things off.
