IF you are going to use center of tread, I used my mag base on a piece of railroad iron and put a dial indicator on the outer edge of the rims to see just how straight my rims where, then on smoothest part of the inside and outside of the sidewall of the tires, then on the center tread of the tire so see exactly how "TRUE" not only the rims are BUT how true or out of true the tires where!!!
I was, at most, 30 thousands out on one of the above measurements.....the rest were less than 25 thousands which I felt was pretty "TRUE".
There is also a good youtube vid on setting the toe on a Model A and the fellow uses a "Duby" (Spelling) toe in gauge that is spring loaded and has a rule on it that fits on the edge of the rims and makes it VERY easy to measure.....I looked on Amazon Prime and it is less than $100 bucks.
