i heard that if its more than inch, than it will cause the lights to come on and to lose function of your asr and abs

YES, i have 295/45/17 M/T drag radials on the back of my 01 SS , ABS inop light comes on when the car is at a 50mph cruse, the 315/35/17 series will not affect the light

I got the factory sized fronts 275-40-17 and 295-35-18's and I can hit the breaks fine but if I'm in the middle of a turn and need to apply some brakes from time to time while in the middle of a turn, no matter how severe the turn is OR how fast/slow I'm going, my pedal fights with me and the ABS light comes on

straight line though, should I hit the brakes hard?
Not a problem.

yeah i would say so i've never had to deal with this first hand but from what i read when you make a substantial tire size change it will turn the lights on

The front and rear wheels have speed sensors and send a speed signal back to the ABS Control unit when the control unit see's two different continous speed signals it turns on the light and deactivates the ABS system because it cannot make proper calculations when the speed signals all are not the same.

I would love it if it turned mine off it just fights me I have c6 rims so 275 18 up front and 295 19 in the rear I think lol they might both be 18's been awhile. But when I brake in a straight line the abs fights with me I also have c5 brakes up front so don't know if they would cause it too but I'm probably gonna remove the abs any ways.

I bought a 99 SS yesterday and the ABS Inop/Brake/ASR lights came on while driving the car home. I thought maybe I got something wet when I cleaned under the hood, but after calling the seller asking if it ever happened to him, he explained that since it has stock front size tires and 305/40/18 Drag radials on the back, the ABS module does not function properly. I have not noticed a difference in the braking or felt the pedal fighting me.

I've never heard of this happening before. Ive always had 17x9.5 wheels until recently, I just got 17x9.5 and 17x11. Should I expect my light to come on?

I run the same set of wheels 17x9.5 in front with 275/40/17 and 17x11 rear with 315/35/17
google "tire size calculator" and then put in the original tire size found in your door jam and then you can start plugging in different tire and rim sizes to see what the percentage of difference is. Get as close to 0 as possible
