I am told no. you must have a differance of 3/4 to 1 inch(backs taller than fronts) or the abs will go crazy. But why would you want all tires the same size?

Some cars are fine with the front and rear wheels being the same size, some have problems with the ABS and/or traction control. To be safe, if the rear wheels are just slightly larger in diameter then the front, you will be fine. With that said, why would you want such narrow tires on you car? Traction will suck in both straight line and handling performance.
