alignment help

is there a "calculator" or equation that can be used to convert alignment degrees to inches (toe measurements) ?

Are you adjusting the toe yourself? Because most decent alignment shops have machines that will give you a readout in either degrees or inches. Off hand I don't know of any calculators or easy equations for toe.

Everything can be solved with math. It's just a matter of how good you are at math. Me, I suck at it.

ya I could eventually figure the math.... didn't want to have to work that hard... and the alignment shop I've used in the past doesn't convert..

I'm pretty sure it involves the wheel base length and then tire track (width) and lots of Trig functions ....

thanks, that's the chart I was looking for .... they also had this to say, which I don't really agree with... but the charts are exactly what I need

A good rule of thumb is 1/16 inch toe in per wheel front and 1/8 inch toe in per wheel rear for a car doing autocrosses/time trials.
