Rear toe in mm - where is it measured from?
As above.
I'm about to shim my left rear hub carrier to adjust the toe. Searching the forum I found procomp recommends 1-3mm of toe in, and sorting the
thrust alignment.
The 1-3mm toe measurement - what point of the wheel/tyre combination is this measured at? Wheel edge? Tyre edge? My wheels are 15".
(195/50/R15).
Cheers,
James

I had an inkling it might be that. Annoying because I don't know if that is for 13" or 15" wheels!

Although when I think about it, toe in at 6.5" radius and 7.5" radius will be similar enough that I could dial in 1.5mm at 13"
wheels and be only slightly more with 15" wheels. If that makes sense?

mine needs doing as one side is something like 1mm out and the other 4mm in!

They go between the upright and the hub carrier. There are four bolts holding the hub carrier onto the upright, the shims fit on these
I say shims, I've used m10 washers as mine was so far out (my fault, not MK's).

rim size has nothing to do with toe in

surely it would?
if you have 2 20ft bars and had them angled so that one end was 0.5ft closer together than the other end
and two bars that are 1ft long that are also 0.5ft closer,
the angles of each would be different, greater for the shorter bars?
same principle but different numbers and units

Some phat 30" rims will have the same angle of toe as 13" minilites but the toe in mm will be different, shirley?
