I think the calculators use that, but it should only matter at the distance you are actually measuring, ie my toe plates are 24" so i compute it based on that distance. If measuring at the actual tire diameter then .1 degree would be more than the 1/16" that it is at 24". still .1 degree though. using strings you are measuring off the tire, but likely not at the full diameter, more likely on the bulge or even on the wheel lip... if you are using the number the calculator gives you based on outside tire diameter, you could end up with more toe than you wanted. prob not significant enough to matter though, we are talking like 1/128" which is far more precise than I can get it to anyway haha. slightly over 1/16" is what works for me currently. and about 3/16 in the rear if i recall correctly.Tire dia is a factor in that equation also. It’s not math, it’s trig.
also keep in mine some of us have suspension components with rod ends or poly that have less deflection than oem, so results may vary on what works best if you start modding things.
I think honeybadger runs only 1/16" in in rear but my car felt super loose at that setting.
