understanding toe specs

Just had an alignment done and everything looked similar to what others have done on camber (-1deg f/-2deg r)but the toe numbers didn't seem to translate to what I've seen on this board.

Front toe set at 0 deg02' (green= pos?)

Rear toe set at 0 deg16' (green+pos?)

I'm guessing these figures are minutes--how does this translate to 1/16 or 1/8"?
thanks.

Mike, It is minutes the way it's written. 60 minutes in a degree. When it's set up this way the tire diameter forms the hypotenuse of a triangle. To get toe in inches you take sine of the angle times the diameter. Guessing at a tire diameter of 25" and working this gives a toe of 0.01" front and 0.12" rear. Both are per tire. Can't for the life of me recall if toe done in inches is specified for both tire together or just one.

Trig has been ages ago so hopefully I haven't crossed something up. If so I'm sure someone will tell me I'm full of it. Either way this is the general idea.

I'm guessing you use radius instead of diameter.
