Default wheel combination for a perfect working ABS

Hi guys,

here in Europe nobody can help me what combinations are posible:

I use a 9,5" x 18 front and 12" x 19 back with wider fenders.
Now i search for Michelin or Toyo R888 Semi Slicks that are possible.
275-295 front and 325-345 back
Can anybody list me the working combinations for a C5 preferably with less difference in the overall diameter and also in hight difference between front and back.

Like 275/35-18 mit 345/30-19 if it works with the ABS??

THE TRACKTION CONTROL IS OUT IN MY CAR. I USE RACELOGIC

The stock difference between front 245/45/17 and rear 275/40/18 is 3,8%

With a 275/35/18 and a 305/30/19 there would be 2%> -1,8 to stock
With a 285/30/18 and 345/30/19 would be 9%> +5,2 to stock
With a 285/30/18 and 325/30/19 would be 7%> +3,2 to stock
With a 285/30/18 and 305/30/19 would be 6%> +2,2 to stock

What is the maximum difference for the ABS?

Thank you!
I don`t use the tracktion control, so this doesn`t matter.
So what is the maximum difference for the ABS?

With a 285/30/18 and 345/30/19 would be 9%> +5,2 % to stock the, car is 31 mm, 1,22" higher in the back
With a 285/30/18 and 325/30/19 would be 7%> +3,2 % to stock the, car is 25 mm higher, 0,98" in the back
With a 285/30/18 and 305/30/19 would be 6%> +2,2 % to stock the, car is 19 mm, 0,74" higher in the back

What is the maximum difference for the ABS because these are the only ones with Michelin cup semi slick?

ok, so if i have the tracktion control off it is no problem?

What from this three combinations would work, or would work only without tracktion control?

285/30/18 and 345/30/19
285/30/18 and 325/30/19
285/30/18 and 305/30/19
