To follow up on myself a bit... 1/16" toe = 1/8" difference from front to
rear (with rear being 1/8" longer then the front for negative toe!).
Since your wheels are straight and tires are bulging, this difference will
be the same no matter where you measure...edge of the tread, high point of
the sidewall, edge of the rim, or even the lip of the brake drum...as long
as it's the same point front to rear.
