Okay, Now I get it. Thank You.
Originally my car had 14" wheels which are 1.3" smaller in diameter than the metric 390's but ran the 205/70-14 balloon tires that are at least as tall as the TRX tires if not taller. Doesn't the tire profile have any effect on the specs?

Camber is measured in degrees and minutes in the OM.
Variation in specs are due to tire alternatives. I provided you the specs for the 16 inch wheels. Others you cite are for the 390 metrics. HTH

Another note, I am also installing 245/45-16 on the rear.
Thanks, DJ |

Thank you guys for the great information. This is what I got from Philip;
Euro QV
Front
Camber -0'20" to -0'40"
Toe in 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm
Caster 4'
Rear
Camber -1'35" to -1'55"
Toe in 3 mm to 4 mm
The following specs are fronm the thread that Steve R provided via Tom B.& Rob, (Thank You!);
Front
Camber -0.10 to +0.10 degrees
Toe in 0.2 mm to 1.2 mm
Caster ?
Rear
Camber -1.05 to -1.25 degrees
Toe in 4 mm to 5 mm
Question one;
Not being well versed in alignment specs I am having difficulty determining the differences in the Camber settings in each set of specs. The method of measurement appear to be different. Minutes and seconds VS degrees?
Two; I noticed differences in toe & camber settings front and rear. Is this due to weight differences between a Euro QV and a US Carb 308?
Mine is a carb 308
Thanks for the enlightenment, DJ

Toe -in 2.5 to 3.5 mm
Caster 4'

Suggest you look at the specs for the QV w/16 inch wheels. I don't recall the precise specs (they are in the OM) but don't remember them being very different from the earlier model.

I am installing new 7" X 16" wheels with 225/50-16" tires on the front of my '78 308 GTS and will be having the front end aligned at that time. Any thoughts on deviating from the stock specs because of the change from 205/70-14 to the larger rim and tire?
Thanks all in advance, DJ
