Default 17x7 tires, NEED ADVICE ASAP!

I just ordered some Centerline's and I'm going with 17x7's in the front, 18x9.5's in the rear. I'm going to be running 275/40x18 in the rear, what size tire can I go with in the front without losing ABS???
245/45x17 is too big for a 7" wide rim, right???
Can I go with a 235/45x17 or something like that without losing my ABS???
Thanks so much guys!

a 225/50/17 is close, within 6 revolutions per mile, and a 245/45/17 is dead on withing 1 revolution per mile. it stands to reason that either one of these will keep your abs functional. as far as a 245 on a 7 inch rim, our sticky says you would need a 8 inch rim for that. 235 is the max for a 7 incher..
