Paul, I aligned my axles with the tires off.  It could be beginner's luck, but here's what I did.

I used this Sears level with the laser coming out one end.  The other end I butted up against the inboard end of one axle.  I rotated the fork/axle/laser (with the bolts finger tight) until the laser shot through the opposing axle.  Then I did the same thing on the other axle.  It took maybe two iterations of this, going left and right, then I tightened the bolts.  Et voila.  It steers and brakes straight and the tires wear in the middle.
