Default DIY alignment question

I'm about to change my suspension and would like to do the alignment myself following the directions from here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=267237
I would like to have 1/8" toe out Total in front. which seems to be recommended often here. I'm assuming this means 1/16" per wheel. When measuring am I looking for the front and rear of the rim to move 1/16" or total of 1/16? Also does it matter if what diameter wheel (15in or 16) i'm using or is the difference negligible?

Also, after I do a slight drop, what can I expect the toe to be? In or out?

Yes, 1/8" total toe out means 1/16" each side. 1/16" will be the difference between the measurements you take at the front and at the back. Wheel/tire diameter does make a difference when measure toe in inches, which is why most aligment machines measure in degrees.
