slick and rim question

Someone told me that if you were to run slicks that overall diameter has to be the same as the front. If it isn't it screws up your ABS brakes. I want to put American Racing Baja Rims 16x10
and Hoosier 28x10x16 tires and stock rims and tires in the front.

Will this work
Thanks

Sure it will work. I wouldn't worry too much about the ABS. If you have problems hjust pull the fuse. I never noticed any problems when I ran with small front tires and larger rear ones...

I run 30 inch rear, and 28 inch front and never had any problems.

I would try to keep them as close as possible.

Don, I did a search and saw that you grinded your calipers down. Do you have any pics?

MASVT, I run the same setup and have no braking issues. You'll be ok!
