Convert alignment toe between inches and degrees using your actual tire size. Fractions welcome, total and per-wheel shown side by side, and it works whether you measured at the tread or the rim.
Total toe is both wheels added together. Per wheel is one side. If a spec calls for 0.20 degrees total and you set 0.20 per side, you have doubled the toe and your tires will pay for it. Every result on this page is labeled so the two never get mixed up.
An inch measurement is taken across the tire at axle height, front edge compared to rear edge. The same angle reads bigger on a taller tire, and smaller at the rim than at the tread. Factory specs are written for the tread, which is why this converter asks where your tape was.
A degree is an angle, and an angle does not care how big the tire is. Inches do. One eighth of an inch of toe on a 26 inch tire is a noticeably steeper angle than the same eighth on a 37. That is why alignment racks report degrees, and why converting without the tire size is guesswork.
Start with your factory spec. Most street cars call for a small amount of total toe-in, often somewhere around 1/16 to 1/8 inch total at the front, but specs vary widely by vehicle and purpose. This converter translates between units; it does not replace the spec for your car.
Conventions differ between alignment racks and manufacturers, which causes endless confusion. This converter reports toe-in as a positive number and toe-out as negative, and labels every result so there is no guessing.
Per Wheel. Most modern racks print toe for each wheel separately, plus a total. Match the scope to the number you are holding, and the converter shows you the other view so you can sanity check it.
No. A degree of toe is the same angle on any tire. What changes with tire size is the inch measurement that equals that angle: the same angle reads as more inches on a taller tire.
