Re: toe

Can someone confirm how this measurement is taken?

Presumably picking up 2 points on the rim on each side and setting the total toe at the 3mm or 1.5mm per side.

Now if you have 15 inch rims this measurement will be a mich bigger angle from straight forward position than if say you had very bling 20 inch rims. (This would give an extra 5 inches to get the 3mm toe - this is a total mix of imperial and metric)

So should it be stated as 3mm (on 16 inch rims)etc.?

My old trig tables and maths seem to have left the building
