Default tire size

hey guys, i've got a C4 and i recently changed wheels and tires so all 4 are the same. looks nice i think and rotating is nice. what i want to know is can i do this on a C5? or are there some speed sensor crap that will get messed up if the tires are the same height? thanks in advance.

C5's have a difference of approximately 1 inch in overall diameter between the front and rear. I believe that the closest allowable difference between the two is a 1/2 inch. If the computer does not sense a rotational difference between the front and rear, you will begin to get codes due to the traction control and active handling.

is there a way to get around this so you can put the same size tires and rims on all four corners? computer redo, or switch a sensor or something? i know i'm not the only person who wants to do this, surely.
