ANYONE HAVE 255/45/18 UP FRONT AND 275/40/18 REARS????

Thinking about this set up for my 08 Bullitt, but was told this might cause my ABS to not work properly. The overall dia. of the 255's is 27.03" and overall dia. of the 275's is 26.66, making the rear tires a bit shorter than the front tires. Pretty minimal, but I just want to be sure. Now the reason I'm not going with 285/40/18's on the rear is because I really want the BFgoodrich KDW2 tires. BFgoodrich discontinued 285/40/18's in the KDW2.

I have a set of 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 kdw new treads on some 18"x9 and 18x10 am deep dish black bullitts.

I'd be willing to sell the tires or the set. They have about 6000 miles on them. No burnouts etc.

I bought them in December 08 and took them off when I got the RTRs last year.

I run the 255/275 set up on my black bullits and 255/285 set up on my chrome GT500 replicas with Steeda lowering springs on GT 'vert. No issues at all..ride is perfect!

Im running 255/45- 18x9 Nitto 555's up front and 295/45-18x10 nitto 555's on the rear. Aslo lowered 1" in the rear on Roush springs. No rubbing no complaints. Just the old school look with a slight rake to the front.

Hey OKLACOP...Long time no see. I've been off the forums for a while. I've had the GT500 setup on my GT for about four years now (255/45/18 up front 285/40/18 rear Goodyear Eagle F1s). I can't say for sure that the ABS was NOT affected, but I have not experienced any problems at all (and no rubbing up front). The setup has worked for me.
