Well, if you have stock rims...the ABS will work better for you. But if not, it won't! <_<

The ABS computer accounts for rolling diameter and overall tire patch on the ground. If you change either(going to a larger rim size or a larger tire size), then you've changed the variables the computer uses to calculate the anti-lock feature.
