                            you take a measurement on the front end of the wheel and the back end of the wheel (where the rulers are) and the difference is the amount of toe. For example if the front of the wheel reads 44mm and the back end reads 41mm then there is 3mm of toe out. There are both metric and standard measurements on the rulers. I guess I will make a conversion chart to translate to degrees.

                                you want the string to be parallel with the cars center line. Because of the e30s 8mm track width difference the string should be 4mm further away from the center of the front wheel than the back wheel. Say 34mm from the center of the front wheel to the string and 30mm from the center of the back wheel to the string, follow?
