does this help ?

or if you are measuring the distance from the front of the wheel to the back you need to know the length you are measuring over width of the rim [A] and how much you want it to measure toe [O]

Say you want it 3mm of difference and you are measuring over 300mm

Tan (Angle) = [O] / [A]
Tan (Angle) = 3 / 300
Tan (Angle) = 0.01
Inv Tan (on calculator) 0.01 = 0.5729 Decimal Degree's
0.5729*60 = 34.376 minutes
0.376 minutes *60 = 22.56seconds

So 3mm measured over 300mm = 0 D 34 m 22.56 s

Hope I have everything right it was done in a hurry with no time to double check

Oh and if it's right how are you placed to give mine the once over

1.2mm of toe in equates to 0.18 degrees (decimal).

0.2mm is 0.03 decimal degrees, so if you want 1.8mm that would be 9*0.2=1.8mm, 9*0.03degrees=0.27degrees.

To convert decimal degrees to degrees and minutes 1 degree is 60 minutes, 1/60 = 0.016 degrees. So to go the other way (from decimal degrees to degrees and minutes) multiply the part after the decimal point by 60.

So for standard settings:

1.2mm of toe in equates to 0.18 decimal degrees equates to 0 degrees, 11 minutes.
