245/40/18 front
285/35/19 rear
although that comes out to 25.72" front and 26.82" rear, a 1+ inch difference that your ABS will not like. A 285/30/19 (not sure if it is a popular size) tire will give you a 25.73" height which will be the same as the 245/40/18 fronts. Go to tirerack.com or discounttiresdirect.com and play around with the numbers and see which tires are available. And as a note, if you want to keep your tire height about the same as stock, stay in the 25.5-26.0" range.

I have OEM C6 wheels, and I have 265/35/18 on front, and 295/30/19 on the rear. My ABS does NOT like that one bit...

Same for me, I've got 245s up front, 285s out back on OEM C6s. Not sure on my height but I think its 40's up front and 35's out back. Is there a way to fix this or am I just better off deleting ABS?
