No, generally toe is a negative measurement. Or, "toe in". Meaning the front of the wheel points towards the engine. Toe out is the opposite.

Generally speaking, the more toe in there is, the better the car will put down power. As power is applied, or as you exit a corner, the suspension squats and the wheel will straighten out. This is why you would want toe in. On our cars, the bushings/rear suspension doesn't dynamically change the alignment a whole lot. So this is why we see very little toe (1/16 - 3/32"). On other cars with softer bushings or that doesn't have a multi link rear such as miatas, s2000, etc (double wishbone), you will see upwards of an 1/8" of toe in. So consider us lucky.
