Default 27 or 28" skinnies?

As the title implies iam looking for a taller skinny front to put on my 15x4 race stars in hopes it will get rid of my abs light. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Match them to your rear tire height if the light bothers you. Just a warning, 28" fronts are going to look SERIOUSLY retarded on your car.

Well, put your rears on the front, and that's how it will look from the side. The ABS should go INOP as soon as the vehicle sees 40-50mph, then should be shut off from there on out, until the vehicle is shut off, and restarted. Sounds like you're having some other issues with the ABS. I'm sure there's a way to unplug it or pull a fuse for it?

Do not put a 28" tire on the front of your car. Just pull the fuse for the ABS. Otherwise your ABS will activate anytime you brake slightly harder than normal. I've been there.

I have a 26" front tire on my car and the ABS acts up when trying to stop at 15mph. You do NOT want to have that issue at a higher speed, so it's just safer to pull the fuse for it.

thanks for the help guys, I think I'll just pull the fuse out tomorrow. I'll just find an extra pair of rims with some 26" tires for one I need a sticker (my rear is narrowed 2" per side)
