There was some good posts about this awhile back. use the search feature. I think you want about 1/2 inch total toe in. that would be 1/4 inch on each tire.

as far as the toe end goes i run 1/4" but that is up to you a bit. for aligning the tires. tie a piece of string around the back of you quad an bring it around you rear tire untill it just touches the front sidewall of the rear tire and then measure to the centers of you front tire (front and back part of it at the same hight the string comes around the rear tire). repeat on the other side
