"Toe-in: +10 min +/-10 min (maximum difference between left and right 20 minutes)"

The above doesn't specify total toe or per side, so if one assumes total, that would be ~1/16" total, or about 1.77 mm, almost nothing. On the other hand, if it's per side, and one goes to the max end of the spec, that could be +20' per side, or +40' total, or 1/4" total. Do I have it confused enough already?

Now if we go further in BA's book, for the 964s and 993s, he further goes to specify "rear toe at +15 min +5 min (per wheel)", or 30 min total, or about 1/4".
I believe so
I run 0 toe front w/ +5' side rear, when I run less in back the car gets twitchey, more and it doesn't seem to turn well. It's hard to compare because I also changed all the bushes and pinned the side mounts at the same time. On the 993 Cup cars they ran 0 front and +5 to +10' /side in back.

Don't know about 964s

w/ my '76 C3, 0 toe front and +1/8" side rear seems to work well. 17" wheels
