215 tire width in place of 205-65-15 on 1990 126 car?

Hello,

Anyone have any experience of going to a little wider
tire on their 126 car?
The stock tire is 205-65-15 with a diameter of 25.5"
I was thinking of going to a 215-60-15 (dia 25.2") or
a 215-65-15 (dia 26")

Will this effect the ABS system? What if I only
change the rear tires for now? Anyone know how much
of a diameter difference between front and rear that
will set off the ABS light?

Thanks
Dan

Hi Luke,
I was actually going to order from Tire Rack
Wanted to get Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tire but they do not have many different sizes. How do the tripletred compare to Assurance ComforTred?
I have been using Kumho Ecsta HP4 for the last 3 years but they do not last long and are not too good in light snow. I am in MA. They are great in rain though.
I wanted to stay close to the stock OD. Actually hoping I could only repace my back tires with a little wider tire then when the fronts finally wear out (10K more miles) I would replace them with the same wider tire. Just don't want to run two different OD tires front to rear and set off the ABS light. I didn't know how much of a difference I could get away with. Would .3" OD do it?
Thanks
Dan
