FWIW: I bracket race a 2005 Mustang and my front tires are 28 inch and the rears are 27 inch.
I have not had the ABS light come on.
Thank you, Alan. That does open up some other choices for the 17" wheels.

M&H makes a 275/50R17" Drag Radial (28" tall, 9.5" tread) and a 4.5/28R17 DOT-legal radial Front Runner.

Mickey Thompson makes a 28x11.5-17 LT ET Street R Bias (28.5" tall, 9.5" tread).

And still not seeing any rear tires that will work for the 19" wheels on the Performance Package, but as I pointed out earlier, 17" wheels will fit over the rear brakes of those cars. Not a big deal either way, as I think the non Performance Package car makes more sense.
