Also be sure the wheels are pointed straight ahead when the steering gear is centered, which they should be if the drag link is straight and in good condition and the steering arm at the LF wheel the drag link attaches to at the front isn't bent. Most wandering problems are caused by a sloppy steering gear preload, although the huge oversized tires (and probably incorrect wheel offset) are mistakes that can't be corrected with wheel alignment.
