Alignment question with toe??? Help?

angle toe is a much better way to measure toe as the numbers don't change, if you measure toe in inches wtf does that really mean, if you measure toe

angle toe is a much better way to measure toe as the numbers don't change, if you measure toe in inches wtf does that really mean, if you measure toe at the rim, then any change in rim diameter changes the numbers, the bigger the wheel the further away from center it's edge will be resulting in bigger numbers. that is why the alignment industry is moving toward angle toe measurements. A good example is the model T, it had 4 different toe specifications depending on where you took the measurements, there is a contact patch bottom of rim, contact patch axle height spec, center sidewall bottom of rim, center sidewall at the axle spec and all of them give you different numbers so you can convert the angle to distance with simple trig but where would you like the distance to be measured from?
