GeoWheels

Geometry for modified vehicles

Perfect geometry, for lifted or lowered suspensions

Bad alignment = tires are shot

After suspension modifications, watch your alignment!

After lowering or lifting the suspension, most garages still set wheel geometry using the manufacturer's factory values.

The new ride height is ignored, which often leads to accelerated tire wear.

GeoWheels calculates custom alignment settings tailored to your actual configuration.

Kinematic approach

GeoWheels is dedicated to wheel alignment and suspension geometry for modified vehicles—lift, lowering, track, tyres. Kinematics helps you anticipate real-world effects instead of relying on static tables.

  • Anticipate camber, toe and axle behaviour
  • Caster, scrub, roll centre and trail for your setup
  • Lift, lowering, track, tyre / rim diameter changes

Step-by-step guide

A structured flow in the app: set the context, identify the vehicle, then move on to the data you need for the calculation.

  • Region and language, vehicle profile and usage type (road, track, off-road)
  • Entry from an alignment sheet or pick suspensions from an extended catalog
  • VIN 17 characters (NHTSA) to speed up identification (United States, Canada)

Real-world simulation

At the modifications step, combine what you actually fit in the workshop so the model matches the vehicle on the rack.

  • Lift or lower, track offset front and rear
  • Tyre / rim change, load and vehicle usage
  • Pick-up: curb weight, payload and regional catalog notes

FAQ — Everything about your vehicle's alignment

Why does my car pull to the right or left after being lowered?

Changing the ride height alters your wheel alignment. GeoWheels helps you recalculate the Toe settings so your car regains a straight and safe trajectory.

Will my tires wear out faster after a modification or with sport suspensions?

Yes, it's common: lowering the car, installing shorter springs or coilovers changes the height and Camber. Without recalibrating, the weight rests mainly on one strip of the tire—often the inside—and wear becomes abnormally fast. GeoWheels helps you find the right angles for even wear and a safer drive.

How can I protect my tire investment and make them last longer?

High-performance tires are expensive. Poor alignment can destroy a set of tires in just a few thousand miles. Using GeoWheels to verify your settings is the best way to protect your investment and extend tire life through precise geometry.

I installed a lift kit on my truck/4x4, where do I start?

GeoWheels offers a step-by-step guide. Simply identify your vehicle to get specific advice tailored to your new off-road setup.

How can I find my car's factory specs without a technical manual?

GeoWheels simplifies this with VIN decoding. By entering the 17 characters from your registration or dashboard, the app automatically identifies your specific model (USA/Canada) to provide the base manufacturer data needed for your new alignment calculations.

Do I need to be a mechanic expert to use the app?

No. The app is designed for enthusiasts. It simplifies complex suspension geometry calculations and gives you clear numbers to hand over to your local alignment shop.

Can I save my settings to compare them later?

Absolutely. You can save multiple configurations to see how each modification impacts your car's handling and behavior.

How do I fix "loose" or "vague" steering after installing a lift kit?

A lift kit modifies the Caster angle and roll center, which can make steering feel imprecise. GeoWheels helps you recalculate these angles to restore stability, whether on the highway or hitting the trails.

Does GeoWheels handle tire size changes for alignment calculations?

Yes. The app accounts for variations in tire diameter and wheel offset to adjust toe and pivot measurements, helping prevent tires from rubbing against suspension components during articulation.
