Well topped off the brake fluid , drove around with vdc off and no problem. As soon as I leave vdc on brake abs traction indicators come on.

GOOD GOD SIR! Your ABS light is on beause the diameter between the front and rear are WAY WAY WAY WAY OFF! Oem diameter is 26.9" for the front and 26.7" for the rear. Your new setup is 25.7" for the front and 27" for the rear. Your front's are rotating 40 times more per miles making your ABS and slip basically thinking you are slipping. You should be running like a 255/45 on the front which is identical to OEM diameter. Basically your tire set up is WAY too small on front and only slightly bigger on the rear compared to oem. No way to reset those lights until the front and rear tires diameters get closer to each other.

Well found a slightly used set of nitto nt555 255/45/18 with 90% tread left for $200. Will this put everything back into line and will this be ok up front with a 18x9.5+22?

You'll be fine. I'm running 255/45 +20.

Xmas treed again driving around Denver!!

Turns out the $500 master cylinder has a float which sometimes doesn't float.

Fix is to open the master fill cap, jiggle the float and you are good. Crap part!
