Newbie wheel question
Hello folks,
Question: Will larger diameter wheels have negative effect on Stability Control?
Details: I recently upgraded my 2010 Wrangler Sport 16" steel wheel and tires (29") to 2007 Sahara Gladiators (32") Aside from missing TPMS sensors and the annoying light and warning chime (which I am going to take care of it with adding sensors) I am happy. However I want to make sure I am not harming the Jeep's brakes (Stability and BAS working hard) and/or other components by un-programmed increase in the wheel diameter. Need to mention that Traction Control and Stability Control / BAS warning lights came on once. I checked the air-pressure (which was off) and re-centered the steering and the warning lights went off. Speedometer being off is OK for now. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Correct, but in my case, I had 29" from factory. Now with 32" I need to recalibrate Jeep's computer for new tire size using AEV Procal, Superchips Flashpaq, or dealer, to correct the speedometer. I am skipping this part obviously. I want to know if I also loose stability functions of the Jeep. Thanks!
