thanks so would that be somewhere between 0° 05'  to 0° 12then for the fronts (toe out)

 

and 0 to 0° 05for the rears (toe in)

 

am I reading that right  (and does anyone care to weigh in on which end of that range is the better bet for standard if slightly energetic road driving)

 

my earlier maths error would make sense then in that as spider's reference points out you measure further out, not at the rim .   hence the angle reduces

Ignore all mm/inch measurements as there are multiple ways it is measured, some at 24" diameter. The workshop manual does specify a diameter though.

The front toe out is 14 minutes (60 minutes to a degree). The rear toe in is about 30 minutes.
