Does anybody have this setup? Interested to see any pics before I go out and buy it. Any issues with it as well?

A 255/40 will have a slightly taller sidewall than a 275/35. IMO, go with a 245/40 up front or a 285/35 in the rear .

There over a 3% difference if I would run that setup and even more if I would go to a 285 in the back. Doesn't that screw up the ABs?

IMO, if you want to go with a taller rear tire then go with 18's front and rear , for example: 245/40/18s front and 275/40/18s rear, or a 255/40/18 and 285/40/18 combo.
I run a very similar setup on my car, 275/35/18s front and 275/40/18s rear, I have my tire size set to 26.1" and only occasionally the abs acts a little odd, but nothing that has ever got me worried.

I all ready bought wheels that are 18/19 I'm going to go with the first post. Even though the front sidewall is a little bit bigger than the rear I don't think its that big of a difference to be that noticeable. I was just wondering if anyone out there had the same setup so I could see how it looked.

C6 wheels?

BradsLS1

I'm afraid the tire diameter difference is to much and set the ABS and TCS off. It's over 3%.

BradsLS1

Yes C6 wheels.

Rimsntires.com. Use the tire calculator to see about the tire Heights. I run 255/40/17 and 295/35/18 with no issues in braking.

I used 1010tires.com they recommend any difference over 3% is bad. A lot of money to spend and hope it works well.
