Default Tires and VDC

hey guys, I've done some searching and can't really find any answers to my question regarding VDC and tire sizes.

I'm planning to run:

275/35/18 Rears
245/40/18 Fronts

in the Falken RT-615

The tire diameter is pretty much the same, but some people are telling me they've had problems with Falkin 615s causing some VDC issues.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

If you have VDC, your rear tire selection (275/35-18") is too short. If you go with that rear tire size, you can expect problems with VDC (especially when you push the car).

Wrong tire sizing/height is a common cause of VDC problems. Make a good selection and you'll have no problems.

I've personally ran 19x8.5 // 19x10.5
245/35 fronts with 285/30 rears
235/35 fronts with 275/30 rears

No problems with this set up. It's on 19's though...
