Ok, well first I stand corrected, I guess the coffee wore off sooner than I 
thought. Thanks for the correction, though.

Second, no it's not half the wheel. Total toe is measured as the difference 
in destance between the leading and the trailing edge of the tire. The full 
diameter. Measuring per side, toe is the difference in distance of the 
leading and trailing edge to an imaginary center-line of the car.

Total toe can be measured in degrees, in which case it is the angle between 
the wheels. Measuring per side, it is the angle between the wheel and the 
imaginary center line above (only when equal for both sides)

Anyway, I gotta go now, work, work, work....

TTYS,
Jonas
