Anyone A Tire Expert?
I'm thinking of putting 285/35/18 on my stock 18x9.5 rear wheels and 255/40/17 on my stock 17x8.5 front wheels. I'm wondering if this setup will cause my active handling/abs systems to not work properly or cause any other problems? I perfer running the stock rims during the rainy season and would like a little more rubber on the road! I did a few calculations and came up with the stock rear tire size being roughly 0.98" taller than the stock front's height. The rear 285/35/18 size is roughly 0.82" taller than the height of the front 255/40/17 tires. What do you experts think? Will this work or should I just stick with the stock sizes? Oh yeah, one more thing; will more revolutions of either size tire mess up anything else besides speedometer readings or possibly even odometer readings? 
I'll get 1st round
