Wheel Alignment: converting mm to minutes
Discussion
I recently had a fast road alignment performed on my FWD hot hatch by a specialist company using a string and line kit.
They set the front and rear to toe in by 1mm each side. I wanted to ask if any knowledgeable people would know what the 1 mm equates to on a Hunter Wheel Alignment machine which is where I would take it if it ever gets knocked out by a pothole etc. as it cheaper than getting a full geo alignment each time.
The website below shows that 1mm of 'toe in' is equivalent to 8 minutes for a 17" rim.

My question is would I simply ask the Hunter operator to set 8 minutes of 'toe in' each side or does the 8 minutes need converting again into a reading relevant to the Hunter machine?
