Fix for wander after +1 wheels/tires?

["Leigh C. Anderson" <71501.2014@CompuServe.COM>]

Does anyone have any ideas for fixing  excessive wandering, such as on a freeway
with even shallow ruts, my 4KQ wanders/veers badly.  Can't even prevent with
steering inputs.  A few facts:

--  I put on +1 wheels (15"x7" Borbet TypeH wheels instead of 14"x6" stock) and
1" wider tires, i.e.  Dunlop D60A2  205/50-15's  instead of 205/60-14's.

--  At the same time, I had every single wearable part in the suspension F&R
replaced with new bushings, tie rod ends etc. and 4-wheel alignment - since my
4KQ had a lot of miles on it.

--  Had the alignment re-checked 3 weeks later.  The alignment shop says the
geometry change due to the +1 wheels/tires is  too much and there's nothing to
be done.  I don't understand how this can be the explanation since the tire
circumference is same as stock, and the Borbet TypeH offset is same as stock I
think.  I have an AeroStar with +1 wheels and even wider D60A2  tires and it
still tracks like a champ on the same freeway ruts.

Maybe there's a non-standard alignment spec fix?
