Default Will these tires work?

I'm about to get some 18's all the way around. I was told that the overall diameter needs to be within .5" of each other so my abs won't freak out, but I have no idea how to calculate that. Right now I have 265/35/18 and 295/30/19 and apparently, that doesnt work out. I'm going to put on 275/40/18 and 295/35/18. Are those sizes within .5" of each other?

What do you mean left to right? Ofcourse they are going to be the same left to right, I'm going to have the same size tires on the left and right...

that is what I am saying. You should be fine. I think the front two wheel speed sensors compare. as far as the rear...I know on a 4 channel the two wheel speed sensors compare. I have no idea how a 3 channel works. I do know the reluctor ring is the middle. As far as your speedometer goes you can set tire size in hp tuners. or perhaps with one of those handheld programers.


all assuming you are talking about an fbody
