Tracking very unlikely to be problem ,check wheels / tyres for buckles or twists by spinning same .

Also check wheel nuts/ studs and wheel holes are correct fitting on your car .To make sure it's wheels at fault , put old ones back on and try .

i have currently had the wheels balanced would it have shown up then if my wheels were buckled one garage has said that my track rod ends are gone but it does nt shudder when i put the old wheels on could it just be that the tracking is considerably worse when i put my new wheels on going from 16 to 18 inch.

Knackered wheels / tyres .

Increased pressure on the hub-bearings,might have to up-grade them to run the larger wheels.
