recommended tire for this model is 205/55/16 or 215/55/16
I replaced the rear with 205/65/16 they fit well and drive with no problem
The tire guy said the 205/65 /16 cannot be installed in the front bc they are too tall and rub against mask when you turn but for the rear is ok since the car is FWD
Question is the front tires are 205/55/16 but the rear are a bit taller
Is this going to affect driving or mess up my ABS system?

I have 205's on mine, the fronts do rub at extreme turn but I back off a bit, it only happens making tight U turns.
I can live with it. I'd rather do this than mixed sizes .
