Default Rear Toe Conversion Inches to Degrees

Hi:

I was looking for a conversion for rear toe from inches to degrees and found this by running google.

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=928400

For 19" wheels am I correct that 1/8" equates to 20 degrees?

Is this enough for the 997 GT3 rear? My car seems to rotate a little easier than needed for my skill level.

I have my rear bar at full soft and front in the middle.

Thanks.

Not exactly - that's 20 minutes which 1/3 of a degree.

You need 0.50 degrees total in the back, which is 4mm or 5/32" total toe-in (on 18" wheels). With 19" wheels it is a little more if you use distance to measure toe, depending on where you measure from and the shape of the wheels (long lip, pronounced lip, diameter, etc).

I prefer measurements in degrees or minutes (angle).

0.33 degrees total toe-in in the rear helps rotation for AutoX, but I would avoid such settings for track or street.
