Default ABS light after new drag radials, why/

I have 20" American Racing razor\shelby wheels and had no problems until I got some drag radials for the rear. The fronts are 245\30\20 and the rear are now 275\40\20s. Why is my ABS light on and is there anything I can do to fix it? I assume it is because the rear tires now have a larger diameter than the front. Any suggestions?

Not sure why you'd be getting the ABS light unless you damaged a sensor or wiring...

That was my first guess too, I already checked for physical damage to the wiring, it looks good. I changed the tires myself so i know nothing was damaged. I tested them out before I adjusted my suspension and I do remember the tires rubbing the wheel well at one point when i went over a large dip, will that trigger a abs light?

When i put my 315's in the back they rubbed through the sensor cable cause there was a little slack in it. might wanna check the rear cables.
