Default bought new rims, but not sure how "low-pro" to go.....

hey i got some ruff 278's in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5
im probably going for a 245-45-18 in the front and a 275-40-18 in the rear.
do you guys think that is too tall of a tire?
im running 245-40-18 and 275-40-18 NOW but the ABS kicks on too soon when i brake hard.
will that size combo work out for me?
any pictures of this setup would be great!
thanks

245/40-18 and 285/35-18.

Those will be very close to the original height of your OE tires.

40's dont look bad at all, you'd prob get more traction with the 275/40 than the 285/35 being that you have more sidewall...you are lowered though right? im not sure if that will cause a problem...
