Default any problems with traction and abs with this setup??

I am in the process of getting some new tires.. hopefully 275/40/17-front and 285/40/17-rear..

I want to know if my abs and traction control will be more likely to turn on b/c of the size difference (275's are 810rev/mile compared to 285's 801rev/mile)

Also if anyone else is running this setup on a lowered camaro (lowered about 2.5") without any issues rubbing etc.
i currently have 275/40/17 on the back and 235/50/17 on the front <---- it came like that used..

thanks

Should be fine, although what is the purpose of the 285? Just to have a wider rear tire?

basically yes.. have a little more rubber on the pavement.. but i think i am going to go with 275 all around if they fit, since they will last longer b/c i can rotate them.

thanks
