Default Front Tires a little bigger than Rears???

Can the diameter of the front tires be a little bigger (0.20 - 0.30 inches about 1/8th to 3/8th inch) without causing any handling/stability control system intervention or braking control intervention to activate?

What sizes - front and back are we talking here?

^^^^That should be OK, but you're talking ODs that are approx. 1" larger than stock both front and rear. You may have clearance issues, but probably not.

However, IMHO, I would not sway from stock ODs. I'm running 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear on stock wheels. Wider than stock, but very close to stock ODs.

Stock front are 26.1 inch dia. Rear stock are 26.2 inch dia. so the 245-40s and 285-35 are both 0.7 inch larger dia or 3/8 ths more on the radius.

^^^^I know the dimensions very well. I said almost. You wanted an opinion, I gave you mine. I don't want to argue.

I appreciate your experience. Definitely no arguments from my direction. Sorry if that might have come off as a challenge of your input. New to the ISF and trying to get my ducks in a row from those who know this car.
