Help me diagnose my issue

Hi! I have a question, on my evo 5. I have mismatching rims, both are 225/45R17. And i am having some problems, when i accelerate. The cars rpm goes up, but the acceleromerter doesnt.. The rpms jump but it doesnt accelerate. And also the abs light turns on sometimes, anyone have amy ideas. Could it be wheel sensors?? Or clutch or what??

Im not sure what youre asking about the wheels?!

The other question sounds like a slipping clutch. Have it in 5th gear at 30-40mph and go WOT, if the rpms raise and the mph stays the same than the clutch is slipping

Most likely the clutch. As for the abs light, hook it up to a scanner and see what code is throwing. Does the light come on right away when you start the car or a few minutes after you start driving?

Possibly a wheel speed sensor

A worn clutch will start slipping in 5th, and as it gets worse, the slipping will descend to the lower gears.
