Default 17's in the front and 18's in the rear

Hey guys I just picked up some Z06 rims. The fronts are 17 X 9.5 and the rears are 18 X10.5. I have searched but can't seem to find anymore info on the ABS . I was curious what sizes I need to go with so as to not mess up the ABS. Someone mentioned that if they aren't sized properly that the ABS will fail under a panic stop. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I read the stickies but couldn't find anything about different size rims.

We haven't heard of anyone with Z06s and an F-body having any issues. We can do a set of the Vredestein ultrac Sessantas in the 275/40-17 and 295/35-18 combos for 649.00 for the set plus 80.00 for shipping. Let me know if you are intrested.

Thanks Mistie

Oh, I wasn't saying his sizes are wrong. I was just stating what I had on mine.
