Be careful putting one tire straight if your front suspention has
ackerman in the steering. ( the inside front wheel turns more than the
outside front wheel in a corner. Then it is much safer to set the wheels
so the gap measurement is the same or close to it on both sudes to get a
more accurate measurment. Normally you would not need any ackerman in a
race car for LSR as there is no intentional cornering at anything over 5
or 10 mph..

I've always stated that as a total of 1/8th" toe in...   check this
thought
out... ( thanks to Dahlgren )


normally your front track is slightly less then your rear... so if you
take
one front tire and measure it exactly even... the other wheel should
indicate the exact toe in.
