Just by replacing the rear with a 1/2" shorter tire and replacing the front with a 1" taller tire I got a constant flashing ABS light. I will be interested to see what you find after reading the ABS fault codes. Good Luck!

i think your abs is different than the newer abs systems. i just put an 18'' wheel on the rear, and the even though the rear tire is a low profile tire, it is still about .60 inches taller overall diameter it is not showing any codes or flashing the abs light.
