Actually that's great to hear because I just purchased wheels/tires for the track @ 275 35 18 F and 285 35 18 R and Apex EC-7's 18x10 F and 18x11 R and figured it wasn't enough staggar and would trip ABS, etc. Others have claimed this to occur so I'm going off their feedback.

From personal experience, I have had ABS and DSC turn themselves off at the track from spinning the rear tires continuously. It was 100 degrees and I just couldn't get traction as the rears were spinning for a couple of laps until finally my NAV screen just lit up like a christmas tree and just about every function gave out. And it wasn't joking...all the systems were turned off. Because of this, the car didn't save me on a mistake and I went off track - it was in a thread I posted in the track section in early June.
