Default Traction System Active issue...HELP!

I originally had;
18's fronts (245/40/18's) and 19's rears (285/35/19's) and switched to 19's fronts (285/35/19's) and 20's rears (335/25/20's).

Had the Z06 brake calipers/rotors/flush etc installed and was taking it for the first run since the switch of wheels, while accelerating i notice the message TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE which is making my car not have enough power it feels sluggish sorts of like fuel its not getting there, hesitation might be the word. Any input please!!!!!: *****:

I'm guessing your front to rear stagger is off. I don't know the tire diameters off hand and I'm not going to look them up but your rear tires have to be 1.04 times larger diameter than the fronts. Anything very far off that target will activate the AH.

Yup, that was it! I just switched to 285/30/19's and the car is back to normal.
Thanks for the input.
