IMO, toe-in given in inches or mm is total toe-in, measured at the front
and rear surface of the tire at axle height. So, the angle at each
wheel would be arc-sin(toe-in/2/tire diameter) where toe-in and tire
diameter can be either both in inches, or both in mm.
Assuming a 28" tire diameter, your 1/16" toe out would be
arc-sin(.0625/2/28) which is arc-sin(.001116) = .06 degrees.
