Default Staggered question...
Can you run a 17 in the front and an 18 in the rear on a Trans AM like they do on the Vette without messing up the ABS???

274/40R17 and a 295/35R18 . . . very close in OD.

But I will encourage you to go 18 x 9.5 with a 275/35R18 front . . . it looks WAY better!

It won't rub when you turn the wheel all the way
