First, you plunk down $5000 to get the portable laser alignment system from http://www.eastwoodco.com
Oh, you wanted the backyard duct tape and aluminum foil shim solution? Sorry.
I don't think you'll get many recommendations for backyard alignments.
Cheap. Accurate. Safe. Pick any two out of three. Maybe one if it's not your day.
Saving $40 after you spend how much on those tires and rims is not wise.

Not every place can align a vehicle with aftermarket tires and wheels. Some of the alignment equipment can't handle the larger sizes. :m2:

Where did you buy the rims? If they do alignments get it done there. It cost me $55 dollars to get an alignment on mine. They usually charge extra for big wheel alignments.

Yeah, the dealer couldn't even align my 20s that I had on my 98' Grand Prix GT. I had to go elsewhere. I totally agree with the roadie. After spending sooo much on a nice set of shoes, don't half-ss the alignment.
