Question Wheel n VDC advise please...^^

Hi I put new set of rims on my 2005 350z

Specs:
Work varianza 19x8.5 off set +22
Bort: 5x114.3
Tires: Toyo PxT1R 245/35/zr19

Front n rear are same.

I drove with new rims n tires about 2 weeks now
Manny ppl advise me that VDC will not like the set up of rim n tire spec
But so far VDC light never came on...

Is that mean that these specs are okay???

Is there any future problem that I should be aware of???
Please advise me...^^

Thank you...^^

If it doesn't come on then why worry? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Under normal driving, it may never come on. Most people see it when accelerating through a turn at higher speeds.

Bump up the rear tire size to 265/35/19. You'll see the VDC problems like DavesZ#3 said, and it will be ultra sensitive in the wet.

ok so i think ive solved this issue ...after disconecting the battery doing the depressing the brake a few times ,still the same problem next step was pulling the vdc fuse. hit some twisties an noticed moderator dave was 100% correct everything is functioning as it should whats happening is very very mild slippage maybe a degree or twobarely enuff to get into a counter steer the *** end just hangs out and sits there . the vdc is programmed not to allow this.
as far as the slip light when vdc is off i dont know it doesnt seem to be doing it anymore and as the tires wear in im noticing less and less vdc activation
