Hi, well at long last my project car is almost complete. It came off the road in 2006 for a lot of reason. The car is now complete again and has a nice 3.2 in it along with a host of other upgrades.
I have just fitted Michelin pilot sport 3 front and rear.
I want to send it for an alignment, but the spec for the rear toe in settings are in degree.
Can anyone tell me what the setting is in millimeters?
Thanks
Geoff

Tire diameter is required when using inches or MM measurements.
The machine should be using degrees, not MM measurements, regardless of what part of the world you reside.

Look at the factory manual, the numbers are in degrees.

At the end of the day, you want almost just a hair of toe in at the rear.
