Wheel Set up

2011 E350 4MATIC
Hello Looking for an answer .Please help .It recently rained really bad here in NY and my car lost traction getting off at an exit and SMACK into the curb I go .driver side rear rim bent past repairable and driver side front rim cracked into pieces + tire blowout .Repairs needed to be done on D/F suspension so I had my forward and rearward control arm ,inner and outer tie rods, and CV replaced.Being that I’m in a pinch ,I purchased 2 245/40/18 wheels on the marketplace and put those on the rear and the wheels the weren’t damaged from the passenger side of the car 245/45/17 are at the front . Now I have an inoperable esc and traction control triangle alert .Is this because of the current wheel setup or maybe something not plugged correctly?

D/F Suspension = Driver Side Front Suspension. LOL...... why can't you write something for global audience LEFT FRONT, period.

When I used to deal with US$2 billion worth American companies ( small by US standard ), they love to write date this way : 2-5-20 , so European and Asian would think 2nd of May of 2020, while it is 5th Feb 2020.
Mature International American companies will write 5-Feb-20

Ok enough teasing you.............

=========

AA. If the steering angle Zero does not match tie rod ( and front arms ) Zero to "X' degrees, you then get that error where ESC will not work.
BB. Or, the wheel speed sensor wire got damage and you do not have wheel speed signal, ESC also can not work, so will ABS.
Use a decent scanner to read the actual fault.


Example of AA , at 45 degrees steering wheel as STRAIGHT AHEAD..... ESC/ABS computer goes angry

If yours is a 4 matic, there is a tone generator wheel/ring at the drive shaft, for the wheel speed sensor.
If that one is missing or damage, same warning you will get

Something like this : https://www.ebay.ca/itm/274044071551

That
makes perfect sense because my steering wheel is definitely at a 45° angle. Heading to the alignment shop as I type this. At a red light of course.😂
