Any Ideas where I could get my 20" wheels tracked?

I've got a car and a jeep both with 20" rims and both in need of tracking. Problem is most of the tyre fitters aroung here (Carlow) can only track wheels 19" or less.

Now I know there are plenty of cars with bigger rims out there, so someone must be able to track them. Was hoping someone could tell me who has the correct tools to for the job. Idealy in the Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, South Kildare area but I will travel if nessceary.

Thanks.

We can do up to 26" but a bit far.

If you've got wheels like that, presumably they are attached to decent cars so make sure you get full 4 wheel alignment done, not just basic tracking as any tiny misalignment gets greatly exaggerated the larger the wheel and/or wider the tyres.

Thanks Nissan Doctor.

At least now I know it is possible to get them done. Your a bit far away but If I get no luck closer to home in the next day or two I just might get in contact and take a spin up to you.

The cars are a BMW X5 and a Jaguar XKR both a few years old so nothing too flash but both have very wide tyres. The BMW in particular is very hard wearing on the inside of the back tyres 315 35 20's, Ive just fitted it with a new set and am reluctant to drive it too much until i get it fully tracked and the camber adjusted.
