Default Can a F body run 2 diffent size tire what do you have 2 change?

I have an 01 camaro and I would Like to run 18s in the front and 19s in the back, I would be getting a killed deal on a set of HRE wheels! The guy said at HRE fits a C4 88 like 94 vette front and 88 to c5s for the rear.

Any help would be great thank you

Look at the stickies in the Wheels and Tires forum, where this post belongs in the first place.

As long as the overall height of the front and rear tires are the same (or very close) you should be fine. If the front and rear are different heights, the ABS will complain and turn off. When that happens, there will be warning lights on the gauges.

10% difference in circumference is about where that
seems to happen, so I wouldn't go more than maybe
5% different. 19/18 is about there, probably OK at
the same sidewall height. Tall 19 and low 18 though,
may be trouble.
