ABS, VDC, and slip lights
too small of tires or too radical of a difference between front and rear overall diameters. my lights came on and the vdc was activatin when my LR tire blew out and i had to run an oem 17" wheel to get to work lol
Your rear tire is too tall. You want the overall diameter of both front and rear tires to be as close as possible.

You don't. The car's computer doesn't like that set up and never will. Only option is to get the diameter of your tires w/in 3% of each other. Sorry I don't have better news for you.

No that won't work either. 245/35/20 has a diameter of 26.8". Your 295/35/20 is a huge tire and it's diameter is 28.1" or a 4.7% difference which will keep those lights on. If you're dead set on keeping the rear tires as is your best option is to go to a 245/40/20 which is 27.7" tall or a 1.4% difference. All those pretty lights would go away then. Use the tire calculator in the link below to help you determine what would work for you. Just remember the 3% rule.
FWIW I don't think you will be happy in the long run with tires that big and meaty. They will look funny on a G IMHO.
