Default stressing about abs.

Ok, so I read all the threads telling me to keep the tires within .5 of each other. When I bought my oe wheels I was going to do 255/40 18 and 295/40/18 continentals so that the overall diameter would be .`1 off. I went with the salesman's recs of 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 in nittos. The only issue is that nittor says that there's a .67 difference in overall diameter and that the rims should be at least 9 in. for there 265. Now, I know that nittos run small. Has anyone else had issues with this combo? Just checkin before my wheels ship off.

18x 8.5 in front and 18x10.5 in the back. The car will be lowered if it needs it. I don't want to different diameters; but, given the wider tire and rim in the back the diameters will be different. Just hoping that someone had tried this combo since Scott told me he does the wheels for ls1tech. I was going to go with continental dw's 255/35/18 and 295/35/18's in which the overal diameter was only .1.
