I suspect that the front tires will rotate at higher speed than the rear but will this mess anything with ABS or speedometer?

Actually, given the lower aspect ratio (sidewall profile), the overall circumference will be fairly close . Certainly not enough to effect the the ABS or speedometer that much .
