Will a slightly taller front tire cause ABS/AH or handling issues?

Hello,

I have a 2000 FRC and am thinking about purchasing 315/30/18's (diameter of 25.35") for the back and 275/40/17's (diameter of 25.55") for the front.

Will I have any issues with the ABS, Active Handling or handling in general because the front tires are slightly taller than the rears?

As time goes on I would imagine the rears will wear faster than the fronts so the difference might be slighly more pronounced due to aggressive driving.

Thanks in advance!

I suspect not, but can't say for sure.

I ran 315's front and rear last year. The fronts are on 9.5" rims which tends to make tire taller than rears on 11" rims.

A lot of guys run equal diameters with no problem.
