Wheel
Camber
Camber angle is the angle between the tilted wheel plane and the vertical. Negative camber is defined as the wheel plane being tilted towards the centerline of the vehicle. While positive camber is defined as the wheel plane being tilted away from the centerline of the car.
Toe Angle
Toe angle is the angle between the wheel plane and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Positive toe (toe out) is when the front of the wheels are steered outwards while negative toe (toe in) is when the front of the wheels are steered inwards.
Toe Distance
Toe distance is the same as toe angle except it is measured as a distance rather than an angle. Toe distance is the lateral distance from the trailing Rim Edge to the leading Rim Edge. Positive toe (toe out) is when the front of the wheels are steered outwards while negative toe (toe in) is when the front of the wheels are steered inwards. Toe distance is useful when setting the static toe angle using string lines.
Half Track
The half track is the distance between the center of the tire contact patch and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. OptimumK also outputs the halftrack that is measured from the wheel center to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
Steer Angle
Steer Angle is the total wheel toe angle minus the static toe angle. Positive steer angle is when the front of the wheels are steered outwards more than when the suspension is in static conditions while negative steer angle is when the front of the wheels are steered inwards more than when the suspension is in static conditions. Zero steer angle is when the total wheel toe angle equals the static toe angle.
Wheelbase
The wheel base is the distance from the center of the front contact patch to the center of the rear contact patch. The wheelbase on either side of the car can vary as the suspension is put through a motion.
