First, I attributed that equation to Kevin, which was incorrect. Second, the equations are not equivalent. I was confused and miscalculated, that equation yields an answer 4 times larger than mine. H

Ok, pax. Well, your choice; either your definition of "toe", or your triangle base. You're calculating the short side of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the diameter, which isn't normally how you

Simple and correct. My Sumitomos have a diameter of 22-5/8" and the desired toe-in is 0.10 degrees. The resulting toe-in in inches is 0.04" and that seems reasonable. :-) Thanks, Pete /// autox@autox

Well, it "should" be Radius * 2pi/360 * toe (degrees) because you are converting the degrees to radians and using the small angle approximation that the sine of an angle is approx the same as the ang

The printout for my last wheel alignment showed that toe was measured in inches, but the factory manual shows it in degrees. How do I convert from one to the other? Thanks, Pete /// autox@autox.team.

Wouldn't it be : opposite/hypotenuse = sine of theta so ....opposite is in inches of toe, hypotenuse is 1/2 the tire diameter (radius) , and theta is your degrees of toe.... So, ~rick shank /// autox

Pete, One of my Mustang shop manuals just happens to include toe specs in inch units, metric units, and degree units: .12 inch equals .25 degrees equals 3.0 mm (1/8 inch equals 1/4 degree) This is wi

Which would be very close to what you would get using the tire diameter * sine of the angle. The tire diameter isn't all that critical in the equation though... it would take about a 4 or 5 inch erro

Either way. The math is the same... If you are talking total toe the angle and the inches will be twice as big as either side individually... using the radius will always give you half . Tom -- Origi

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 d
