So a few months ago i put new rims and wider tires on the SS
i went from the stock size all the way around to 275/35R20 in the front & 315/40R20 in the rear. As soon as i drove the car the brake light came on and the stabiltrac lights came on as well. The DIC showed 2 messages of service Stabiltrac and service the back up sensors. found out that the front tires were too small height wise as compared to the rear and were causing the wheel sensors to malfunction. Drove the car for a little bit before replacing the tires(tires arent cheap ya know) and yesterday i installed a set of 275/40R20 on the front and now the DIC messages dont come on and the back up sensors are working again but the Brake light and one of the stabiltrac lights stay on....any ideas?!?

You may have to take it to the dealer and have them re-program the computer. The stabil/track condition probably has to do with the difference in rotation of the tires due to different sizes.

The lights are more then likely just on because the history code is still there. The tires size around should be the same size in circumference. Now that you fixed that, just need to clear codes.
