If you want to do your own toe-in at home, I suggest that you try to duplicate the old-fashioned alignment-shop technique. Measuring from the edges of the tires can go wrong if there is any variation in the tires. Instead of tape measuring from the edges of the tires, you find a long stick that can be marked precisely. Get a big piece of chalk (or in a pinch you could even use paint) and jack up each wheel, spin it, and chalk or paint the surface of the tread. With the wheel still up, rotate it and, using a nail stuck into a block of wood, resting on the floor (the old shops had a special little tool with a spring-loaded spike), inscribe a line on the surface of the tread. Now you have a very precise line from which to measure. It doesn't matter where on the tread this line is as long as it doesn't wander. The stick you use should ideally have some kind of feet on it, so that you will be sure you are measuring at the same height front and back. If you are doing zero toe, the precise height doesn't matter as long as it's consistent. Now you can mark the distance on the stick front and back, and make a very precise adjustment of toe.
