Different Wheel sizes

I hadn't thought about it, but it was mention in the "pic. of your FD" thread. I am planning on going with 17" wheels in the front and 18" wheels in the back. would anyone know if there would be a problem with this mechanically? It was mentioned that maybe the ABS would be affected. Please provide you 2 cents

Thank

It's not a problem as long as you get the right tire sizes.

What do you mean the right tire sizes? I don't want to get a 17" with a wheel that has a large side wall so the over all dia. is the same. That would defeat the perpose.

If you change the overall diameter, that will effect everything which uses the rotation for calculations.
