    Default Would putting a 28 inch tire on the rear and leaving the front alone....

    My buddy is looking for a 28 inch tire for his car. If we put a 28 inch tire on the rear and kept the front stock, would that throw any lights like abs or anything, or cause any problems?

    Thanks

    OK. Do you know of a good 27-27.5 inch tire that he can put on his 18s with no problems?

    No it won't throw a light. Mine are 27.7 and fronts 27, not that much difference. Even the computer can tollerate that much of a change. Some guys are running 28 inch tall hoosiers and much shorter tire in the front. You could run the nt05's on the street and at the track. Mine are 27.2 tall for my dr's and 27.7 for my 275's (20's). I don't have any issues what so ever. Go for it.
