Default Alignment Interepration Question

I've done a search on alignments specs for auto x. I specified 1/8" on each side of front toe out and zero toe in the rear. I ended up with the correct toe on the front, but positive .08 degrees in the rear. Is this toe in or out? The measurement appears on the diagram at the rear side of the rear tires. It appears as though the front of the rear tire is slighty toed out. Will the postive toe (rear) help the rear of the car rotate better? I'm confused with the alignment spec sheet I'm looking at
Thanks

At nearly 1/10th of a degree of toe out. I think you can pretty safely say that although it is technically toed out, it is pretty darned close to zero. You'll be fine where you are.

Look at the alignment sheet.

TOE

If it says a NEGATIVE number, it means the wheels are pointed outward.
If it says a POSITIVE number, it means the wheels are pointed in.

Off the top of my head the factory tolerance for DC/EG chass are .02+ to .08+ toe
