That's more like it. That is the stock size tire for an '03 Cobra.

ok so can i run that size all the way around, or will it still affect my ABS. I really like the way those tires look.

ABS works based off of the difference between the rotational speed of the wheels - when a wheel is slipping, it spins at a different speed than the others. Putting a different diameter tire in the back results in the rear tires spinning at a different speed than the front tires, which triggers the ABS light. If you put 275/40's on the front, the ABS light should go away.

I am surprised it made the light come on. a 245/45/17 and a 275/40/17 are almost ientical in height
