Hey guys i need to get my wheels aligned but the shop has the adjustment for toe in degrees and not mm

Any one know how to convert mm to degrees?

I've read up on some stuff but still not sure as some suggest using just the rim diameter but others suggest using the overall tyre diameter....i run 18"gtr wheels 235/40/18 up front and 265/35/18 rear

I plan on running 0* front and 2mm in on each side on the rear

Any links to calculators or such will be appriciated

Thanks

IIRC you can measure the distance between the front of both tyres and then the distance between the rear of both tyres. the differences is your Toe

in/out.

Ok guys this is the info. i aquired and this is what i'm going to use after lots of research...

Firstly you need to calculate the overall rim AND tyre diameter so using a 265/35/18

18" x 25.4 = 457.2mm

2(0.35 x 265) = 185.5mm

Total dia.> 457.2+185.5= 642.7mm

Next i want a toe of 2mm IN on either side so

Deg= 2(mm) x [ 115 / 642.7]

Deg= 0.357* for a toe in of 2mm per side

Toe IN is a positive value and toe OUT is a negative value

There are a couple of ways to calculate this but this method is the simpliest....well for me at least and i should note that you guys need to double check if your alignment shop reads toe in mm or degrees to make sure you are setting up your ride properly because it seems that all the newer machines measure in degrees and not mm.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
