Default Tire size ? -18x9.5 265/35/18 front & 18x10.5 295/35/18-problems?? traction control

Tire size help-18x9.5 265/35/18 front & 18x10.5 295/35/18-problems?? Traction control, will this throw the system off? Or should I get standard ZO6 wheel sizes and avoid any potential problems? TIA

A none issue....
Running the below:
275/35/18 & 295/35/18
265/35/18 & 295/35/19
275/35/18 & 345/35/18 or 345/30/18
I have run 275/40/18 on all 4 w/o issue as well.
Only had the issue when I put 275/40/17 on the back for a day of drag racing with OEM front 17" and I KNEW that would be an issue....but only once in a while
