I am running a 13.75" wide tire on stock wheels for the last 30k miles. So a 9" wide wheel would work well with those tires IMO.

Well, headache time.... I just spent 5 days early last month trying to get the brakes working on my friends rig, Lexi....

Well, I recall now that Foo's brakes were doing the same thing last year. So, I tried the power bleeding method and it still goes to the floor. This is like IT part 2. So frustrating.
I know that when I had this in the shop last year, all the brake fluid dripped out of the master for a month or two, so I am going to pull the master and bench bleed it tonight to see if that makes a difference.
HELP Brake pedal goes to floor slowly
Facts: Working on a 97' lx450. ABS and LSPV removed. brake proporting valve added by master master replaced with non-abs unit replaced the bleed valves booster was replaced last year. Bled the snot out of it. Ran it up and sat on hills to try and get air to go one way or the other. No...

Need help.. Where can I get a steel wheel? The Vision is nationally backordered, so I need to find something.
Needs to be steel as I am going to weld in beadlockers.
I need 17 x 9 6x5.5 +12 offset or anything positive offset.
closest thing I can find to the Vision soft 8 which was +12 offset is a us wheel 042-8960

thanks @woytovich looks like the 97-7983 is a -6 offset.
I ordered steel wheels from Summit years ago and was able to pick the backspacing i wanted, Just give them a call and they can help you directly. I think i'm just running standard offset Soft 8 steel wheels now and they work great.

I have to say that it is amusing talking to Discount Tire or Summit about wheels.... First thing they ask is what year model car. I explain that is not going to help, as it is an offroad rig with a different axle under it. They persist it is a starting point, so I tell them and the next fifteen minutes I spend explaining they cannot look at anything the computer is telling them.
So I tell them, Volvo military portal axles with 5" drop that are wider than stock axles, so I need tire/wheel sucked into the car.... Then they just get quit and say they can't help.

On the braking issue, have two trains of thought......
I have at all 4 corners big wilwood 4 pot brakes, so wondering(actually idea from @kc_chevota ) if I have too much fluid needs for a 1" master. I will reach out to wilwood to see their thoughts.
I also discovered that the advants BMT090 is a rebranded Aisen OEM master. For only $70 going to try that. I had been buying Cardone, but if you can go OEM for $10 more... why????
Just talked to Wilwood, and using four of those big pot calipers, they agree I need a bigger master. So, I will swap a smaller rear on.
Currently have 120-6815 wilwood on front and rear.
will swap rear to 6805. 3 cubic inch piston area vs. 4.8 on the larger one.
