Default Alignment Question

I've done a search and found the UK setting, but are these setting ok to use with 19 x 8 wheels? Also, why is there so much toe in the rear?

Here are the setting in case anyone needs them:
Front
Caster Left 6

I see no reason why you couldn't use these settings. Assuming that you haven't changed your overal tire diameter by going to 19 inch tires with a lower aspect ratio, the suspension geometry will work the same as if you had stock wheels.

Positive rear toe helps high powered rear wheel drive cars put the power down on corner exit.

I'm using the UK settings right now and they are awesome

Unfortunately the overall diameter did increase a little. I went ahead and got the alignment done anyways. It feels good on the curves, but I can hear a the inside tire skiding when making right and left turns. I may take it in again, but I'll let everything "break-in" before I do.

Thanks again.
