larger tires effect tps?

hey guys just wondering if i were to install some 33.2 inch 275/70/18 nitto terra graplers on a stock rim or even a aftermarket xd monster rim without a leveling kit or lift will it affect the traction control at all?
ive read it wont and the stock tire size on the stx 4x4 i belive is a 32 inch tire..

what if i just remove the rear blocks that gives it a rake?

SWAG, here, but I'm guessing a uniform tire diameter change that small will not, but an attitude change ('rake' change) may affect vehicle stability control systems ...

What WILL be affected are shift points and speedo - you will need a programmer of some sort to correct that.

I'm curious as well. Thanks for asking that!

I put a 1.5" AS level kit on mine and 285/65/18 Goodyear Silent Armors and everything is fine. 33'' tire is not enough of a change that you'll have to reprogram for mph or tranny shift points.
