The overall diameter of your front tire is nearly 2" smaller than the OD of the rear tire.

That is what is causing the lights to go on. F-Car ABS is not compliant with dramatically different OD's on the tires.

You are sure its 275/40/18 and not 275/35/18 out back?

Like Xsta Z 28 said, your tires are different diameters, which is causing your ABS to complain. The strange thing is tha the lights did not come on before, I don't know whats going on there.

my girlfriends car had a constant ABS INOP light and E-Brake light. It turned out to be her EBCM that is on the front of the brake booster.

i am positive on the rim/tire size. it has the c5 thin spoke rims on it. and i was shure to buy the same height tire. and wtf is the ebcm? i did replace the front left calipur but that was after about a week of driving and the lights beeing on. i am almost half tempted to take it to a friend at a dealership.
