Actually ASR and ABS are working properly, meaning the computer thinks there is an issue so those systems are deactivated..

once you correct the % difference front to rear, it should 'correct' itself and the lights will shut off

Just came across this thread, so I have a question... I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Fikse Profil 5's in 18/19 sizes. Going with 345/30/19's in the rear. Been torned between 285/35 and 295/35 18's for the front. Only .3 inches in height difference. Anybody got any advice? Much appreciated.

If you go with the 345's you might have the same problems I'm having throwing codes. After some research I think the perfect combo is 325/30/19 rear and 275/40/18 There is only a .1% difference and your combo there is a 3.8% difference. My rims came with the 345's but if I was buying new I would go with combo mentioned and definitely not the 345's

Maybe but I feel a 275 front is too small and there's nothing cooler than a big fat 345 outback! Many guys out there with a 285/345 combo and no problems. I'll go with one or the other. More than likely the 285.

Thanks. To you as well. Actually haven't heard anyone that has the combo I'm looking at mention anything about codes. I'll let you know how mine works out👍

I tried 285/40R18 on the front and though it did solve the ABS/ASR alarm light problem I just couldn't stand the "thick" look of side wall.
From my experience if you want to avoid the potential ABS/ASR issues I would recommend 285/35R18 fronts, 10" wheels with 60mm offset and 325/30R19 rears, 12" wheels with 37mm offset. As several have mentioned with this combo the difference between front and rear wheel speed is within the erro band tolerated ABS/ASR systems. Running the Michelin Pilot SS 345/30R19 rear tires which are a little on the plus side dimensionally I had to trim the wheel well liner in couple places and cut down the heads of the forward lower dog bone bolts about 1/8" so they would not rub on he inner sidewall of the tires during hard cornering.
