Don't know about getting an ABS code, but the software in the car that runs the nannies assumes a ratio between the OEM tire (not wheel) diameters front to back. You can calculate this by referencing the tire size information at some web site like tirerack.com. Then assume the engineers must have built in some tolerance to take care of the situation where the the front tires are new and the rears bald which decreases the rear tire diameter by maybe 1/2 inch and calculate this ratio. Then do the opposite case with front bald and rear new. If you stay between those last 2 ratios you should be OK.

If you mount larger tires it will make your speedometer post different speed than the original factory size tires.
