Were they LED's before, or are they LED's now?

If LED's now, did you put the resistors/loads on?

Stability, I can say not much more at normal speed but yes there will be significant affect in traction from the wheel. Bigger the size of the wheel, more traction you will get. But same traction from both the wheel is also necessary.

Having a FWD the bigger rears has no practical advantage in fact
it has all the bad effects.The bigger tires a probably not only wider bu taller as well.Having this circunference diference the traction thinks the front wheel is
spinning.I guess it tried to compesnsate by cutting fuel and when it didnt help it went offline.Traction Control gets its signal from the ABS sensors meaning your ABS is also could be confused and comprinised.Also now the car drags its rear as a wider tire produce more traction you will see a drop in the MPG.Match the fronts at least if you wanna go wit wider tires having them on the rear only makes no sense on a FWD.
