Do you have access to the wheel encoders? If yes, I would propose using the robot_pose_ekf package.

Edit in reply to comment: The EKF's job is to fuse several independent sources of information, in this case wheel odometry and IMU data. Since you only have IMU data, there is nothing to fuse; using the laser_scan_matcher, as you seem to be doing, is probably your best hope. Still, as @Claudio writes, you're in for a rough ride without wheel odometry.
