will the tire Diameter difference make ABS go nuts?

[lsp408]

I ordered me set of wheels/tires package.

They are
18X9 255/45ZR18 Nitto NT555
18X10 295/45ZR18 Nitto NT555

I look up Nitto website, the 255/45ZR18 is almost 27 inches tall and 295/45ZR18 is little over 28 inches tall.

I don't know if this will mess up the speedo and ABS stuff maybe even traction control?

another question: will 28 inches tall tires fit?

Why not just go with the 285/40 in the rear? Minimally skinnier than the 295/45, and the exact overall diameter of the 245/45 you're running in the front.

It was the package deal. So don't really have choice.

u will be fine...just get them balanced

The tire is a little too much sidewall I think. As soon as I get back home, I will put it on the car. hopefully won't look weir.....

Mark the tires at the valve stem position. Then see if they rotate on the rim.
If they do you can expect the balance to go off. More common than you think.

295/45/18 is really tall for a stang. That was the stock size on Gen 2 Lightning pickup trucks for reference.

That is what I am worry about. hopefully in week or 2 I will go home and put the tire on the car to see if they will fit or looks ok or not....

I got this wheel n tire package from cruizinconcept and the website say its will fit 05 to 10.

I have that combo and with stock ride height the rear tire looks too short. A taller tire would look better and give (a little) more traction. I'm undecided on lowering, and at this point I'd get taller rears if that will not mess up Advantrac/ABS/TC . Probably go with a drag radial too.

If you wouldn't mind, can you please post the pic of your ride?

I don't have a server to put it on to link to.

There's one pic in this post;

nice looking stang. if that is 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 on the back and car is on stock height, what I got 295/45/18 may look good without lower car.

Thanks,
