Wheel Alignment / 22" wheels

I recently bought my RRS from Aberdeen LR and its been back twice now to get the wheel alignment done due to the steering wheel being at the 1 oclock position when driving in a straight line, im constantly wrestling the wheel to go straight.

The Senior tech had mentioned that I shouldn't have 22" wheels fitted to my 2012 Hse, but I bought the car like this from LR.

Will the 22's make any difference to the alignement? maybe the tyres are the issue?

any help/advice would be magic.

Wheel size doesn’t make any difference to the alignment as long as they are all the same size.Have you noticed wether any of the tyres has wear on the inside or the outside.?

Thanks for the reply,

I have noticed that the nearside front is a little feathered on the outer edge?

The rears are pretty new, is it worth me shifting them from rear to front to see if it makes a difference? Peter vardy LR, Aberdeen have been shocking with it, keep saying its fixed. Only have to drive about 200yrds to notice its not right.

What brand of tyres are on your car,,it’s usually the cheap budgets that feather on the edges,,put your postcode in here & find the nearest place that’s got the Hunter alignment equipment

Im sure it's Falken's on the front, im offshore just now so can't get a look at it.

Would the swapping rear to front work to see if that's what the problem is?

You can try that,at least that way you’ll know wether it’s the tyres or not.Falkens are a good mid-range tyre
