Typical toe adjustments for two styles of driving.

Aggressive Street Driver
Front: 1/16" In, Rear: 1/8" In

Weekend Hot Lapper
Front: 0, Rear: 1/8" In

Guidelines for setting toe and how it can affect feel and handling.

Front Toe-Out
Just Right: Reduced understeer at turn-in Improved steering response Counteracts natural tendency for front- and all-wheel-drive cars to toe-in under throttle load.
Too Much: Instability during braking Straight-line instability, especially over single-wheel bumps or split-traction surfaces Unrecoverable understeer.

Front Toe-In
Just Right: Generally helps make the car feel more stable
Too Much: Wandering under braking Refusal to turn in or rapid turn-in followed by understeer

Rear Toe-Out
Just Right: Easy midturn rotation. Less front tire load
Too Much: Violent on-throttle oversteer on RWD cars. Can help drift cars. Violent lift-throttle or trail-braking rotation.

Rear Toe-In
Just Right: Easily controlled power oversteer in rear-wheel-drive cars
Too Much: Sluggish response. Midcorner understeer Instability at turn-in
