You can't measure the rear of the wheel- tire toe in any higher than the level of the wishbone-radius rod. Wheel and tire size will also effect the distance from the floor . I set mine at the level of the wishbone. The center of the hub would be optimum. If the frame is sagged or the motor mounts are allowing the engine to ride low, it will effect the level of the wishbone and the outcome of any adjustments that are made . Common sense tells me that there is No exact level from the floor that will be correct in all cases, Too many varyables.
