Degree's to inches alignment conversion?
Does anyone have a source for degrees to inches or vice versa for doing wheel alignment on equipment that uses degrees?

use a calculator. A corvette tire is approx 25" tall, so:
Tan (angle)=x/25 where x is the toe or lean (from level) for camber. Make sure your calculator is in "degree" mode, not "radian"
.43" is approx 1 degree for camber. For toe, make sure you measure Total to OR per side, as it is easy to mix the two together.
