Traction, abs, speedo after new rims.

Was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Installed new rims on the Z. After driving about 2-3 blocks. Everything on the Instrument panel went on and the speedo stopped Working.

Working. Also, couldn't shut the car off!

Traded my stock rims for aftermarket rims
Specs 255/30 19f, 295/30 19

Possibly the ratio between the tire diameters front to back.

Wider Tires and ESC/ABS Issues

Would it go normal if I put the right tires on?
Or would I need to get the dealership to
Erease the codes after?

It looks like the 255/30/19 front tires are causing the problems. Too low profile. Stock (non-Nismo) fronts are 245/40/19, so a slightly wider tire (255 or 265 are common) with a 35 profile is ideal for keeping close to the stock diameter.
