Toe is the difference between the front and the rear measurements, so it is
based on the diameter and not the radius. The toe measurement needed for the
equation is per side, not the total toe. The diameter forms the hypotenuse
and the opposite is the toe measurement per side, or 1/2 of total toe.
Assuming you use the same units for toe and diameter the equation is :
degrees = arcsine [(1/2 of total toe) / (diameter)]
The equation:

has absolutely nothing to do with calculating toe measurements. Somebody is
confused.
