i want to know if there is a universal equation to convert the toe in/out measurements in degrees to a metric or standard measurement. i've been looking forever and noone knows anything about it.

The formula is:

Toe in = tire diameter* tan(toe angle)

Be careful programming this into an Excel spreadsheet as Excel assumes the angle you put in is in radians.

Angle in radians = Pi * (angle in degrees)/180

Hope this helps

Opps!!!

Forgot to tell you that this formula is PER WHEEL, not total toe.
