Default ABS/ASR issues with different tire sizes???

Heres the deal guys, I just bought a set of wheels and the front ones came with a pretty decent set of falken 245/45/18 tires now without even really thinking I went ahead and ordered a set of 295/35/18 tires because thats what I ran on my old wheels. Well just using the tire calculator I saw that the front tires ill be about a half inch bigger than the rears diameter wise. I kno a lot of people run 275's in front and 295's out back and still have a 1/2" difference and never have a problem with the asr/abs but here my tires will be larger in the front. Eventually I will replace the fronts but I hate to do it now because they are in such great shape and according to the cast date, only a year old. So does anyone know if these will be ok no or does the abs computer read the fronts differently than the rears?

what size r the wheels?? u can't run the same width with a 245 and a 295... 8 or 8.5" with the 245's and at least a 9.5 to 10.5" with the 295's...

the fronts are already mounted and are 245/45/18 on a 18x9 wheel while the back ill get the 295 ti4es I just ordered and those are 18x10.5 wheels I'm just hoping I can get through the summer with the front tires like that with pissing off asr come fall I'll probably get new ones. I know people run a 1/2" bigger tire in the rear and no issue but idk if it makes a difference if the front tire is bigger

275/35 should be the biggest tire used on a 9" wheel... u should be using a 245/40 on the front, altho 9" is a bit wide for a 245...
