I have been to several places today to try and get the 4 wheel alignment done on the V6, no luck, everyone i have tried said their equipment cannot do 18" wheels.

Tried ATS, KWIK CRAP, EUROTYRES and a couple of small tyre places.

Last resort will be Vx tomorrow, dont want to do that due to my local dealer being a load of rubbish.

I had mine done using some kit called optiline - done by imperial tyres swindon .. did a really good job IMHO.

Perhaps you can find someone with optiline kit in your area ??

not sure of the garage mikedundee used but as you can see, its on his 18s

the guy at my local garage was using the same equipment on my 17s so it just might be that they dont have the computer software

i'm ringing my garage tomorrow to see if they can fit me in cos he couldnt get my adjusters undone on my back wheels! i was on my way to a different garage when i saw the sign saying this garage does it all, i never knew it was even there!

so it might be worth while checking these little known tyre places in your area before the big names!

No thats Malvern tyres now..
Do a search and phone them..Im not sure if it id them but i remember an ex boss of mine had 18" wheels and could only get them done in a certain garage..A clue it was in Caerphilly so do a search and ring around a few in that area..

Try these too on Bedwas road Caerphilly
Chris Tyres 02920 887436
One tyre in place in Carphilly does them im sure

Sorry cant be of more help its my age.. ;D

Remember, 4 wheel alignment is not the same as a proper Full Geometry.  Unless its had a full geometry recently, I would suggest 4 wheel alignment is a waste of money.
