You could futz with VDC, ABS, or otherwise impair handling. Not to mention as you increase your ride height with a taller tire you also decrease fender clearance, which can lead to problems when turning or during suspension travel.

The computer is looking for differences in wheel speed between the wheels. Fender clearance yes that could be an issue. I guess that is my main concern is if that tall of a tire will fit decently.
