Would wider tires mess up my abs or dsc?

I just bought a 2010 mini cooper s hardtop with manual transmission. It comes with the standard 195/55/15 run-flat tires. I want to replace them with a more performance-orientated brand of tires and was thinking about getting wider tires all around or just in the rear. Maybe like 205 or 215 or 225 (keeping the 55/15 the same). Would that mess up how the abs and dsc works?

Update:

sorry, it's actually 195/55/16 now

    No, wider tires stop quicker.

    They also take more power to roll, reducing MPG slightly.
