17's to 19's...could i have problems?

My coupe has the stock 17'' wheels and tires, with 225/50/17 tires in front and 235/50/17 tires in the back. I have new 19'' wheels and tires on order, but they will be with 245/35/19 front tires and 275/35/19 rear tires. I've always heard that you need to keep the same diameter when upgrading tires for VDC, and this isn't usually a problem for people with my new tire size (I see people with those sizes on here all the time). BUT, I suddenly realized that they are all most likely upgrading from the 18'' rims. Will I have problems? Is there anything I can do, like have my ECU reset with the factory settings for coupes with the stock 18's?

As far as I know that set up is VDC Friendly. So, nothing to worry about [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Ohhhhh...I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your above post. I thought you meant that your VDC light never goes OFF (as in...it's always on!), and I didn't think that was good. Never mind, though, my bad! Thanks for your re-assurance.
