Unhappy VDC and SLIP light on

Hello, after read a lot of comments about this lights I still have doubts.

Recently I replace the OEM steering wheel, install coilovers and new wheels (19x9.5 225/40 on front and 19x10.5 255/40 on rear) and after that the VDC and SLIP light came up. after driving 2 miles the car I stoped in a red light. After the light change to green I did put 1st gear and at 2k RPM the VDC light turned off, the SLIP light starts blinking and the car tried to break by it self, this was only for a couple seconds and then both light keep on and the car goes back normality.

My question is, could this be related with the steering wheel replacement or wheels replacement? go back to the OEM wheels is not an option I sold it. If that's the cause, could an alignment fix this issue?
The car is a 350z 2006 touring version.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Tire sizes. What you need to do is take the car back to wherever you got the tires and get the right sizes. For 19s, that would be 245/35-19 and 275/35-19. (Note the PROFILE/Aspect Ratio difference from your 40s) These will not trigger VDC given that the F-R delta will be right around 3% give/take .25%. Right now, you're at about 3.5% delta and VDC is doing its job trying to prevent the rear wheelspin it thinks is happening.
