Question My tire combination works?

Does anyone know if it's ok if I have the following tire size combination on my Track Z;

Front: 225-45-18
Rear: 255-40-18

My main concern is VDC and ABS will get mess-up! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Why would you reduce the size of your fronts so dramatically? I think by increasing the rear tire size and reducing the fronts, you are going to create even more understeer than is already present with the Z.

I'm not reducing the size in the front just increase the size in the rear; 225-45-18 is the stock size came with my Track Ed wheels, and the stock rear is 245-45-18 and I'm planning to change to 255-40-18.

I would go with 255/45/18 in the rear to maintain the proper relationship with the front outer diameter for proper VDC and TC operation. Car will also handle better. For the front however, I would use 245/40/18 when you are ready to change. This will dramatically reduce the understeer.
