Default 17" tire on rear

I plan on doing some drag racing tomorrow night. I want to put my old 17" rims on the rear, for two reasons. Lower gearing to drop my e.t.'s a bit, also to save my new rubber on the car now. I read awhile back someone said the ABS light would come, anything else that should be of concern? ( other than a lot of tire smoke) hehe Thanks, I will check in later, back to work.

I have had no problems with 17" on the rear. I ordered a set of y2k wheels and a set of Nitto drags and drive on them daily.. No lights have come on..

no lights here. I also have some 17x8.5" Y2K repros on 275/40/17 Nitto DR and drive on them for a couple days after the track before putting my HRE's back on. By the way Nitto DR are sweet on the street. Great traction.
