toe(l/r) 0.14*/0.15* in, but it's degrees not inches

First, I have no idea what the toe degrees equates to in inches. Anyone know?

In order to achieve these numbers, the right(passenger) side needed a normal amount of shims. There's plenty of room for more shims in there. The left(driver) side is maxed out with shims front and rear. All the bushings are newer and good. Is this a problem? I ask because I'll be doing Custom Works coil overs and Speed Tech UCAs in the future and would prefer to address any issues before hand. I figure if I need to bend the frame mount in some, I can do that when I cut the shock mount portion out. I also wasn't sure if I should do this while doing the coil over conversion, or should I wait and get an alignment done after the new parts are in just in case the new parts can achieve the desired specs without changing the frame mounts.

I'll be emailing both Keith at Custom Works and Speed Tech before I do anything to ask their opinions but I wanted to ask here as well.

Thanks.

25" diam

1/32" = .07 degrees = 4.2 minutes
1/16" = .14 degrees = 8.5 minutes
3/32" = .21 degrees = 12.6 minutes
1/8" = .28 degrees = 16.8 minutes
