Default Tire height difference front/back. What will work?

I have searched and can't seem to find an answer to this question. Is there a ratio between how much difference in height the front and rear tires need to be without messing with the abs? My current fronts are 25" and rears are 26.2" for street and drag radials. What happens if I put a taller tire on the front that measures 26.65"? I appreciate any input.....Craig

The taller the sidewall is, the more the wheel will roll through the tire while turning. It makes the steering less responsive in any car so why would you want to do that in a Corvette?
