Hi all!
Just got my 1991 GP/SE from the wheel shop wich i supplied with the alignment specs (in degrees?) from the original manual, they didn´t have these.

Rear wheel alignment specificatons (service setting):
Camber +.5°
Toe (total) -.10°

Front wheel alignment specs.:
Camber +.7°
Toe (total) 0°


So over to my question, is this an acceptable adjustment (minutes?)?
I´m somewhat concerned with the camber in front and rear toe?

REAR
toe left -00°03´
toe right -00°05´
toe total -00°08´

camber left +00°35´
camber right +00°40´


FRONT
toe left +00°00´
toe right +00°01´
toe total +00°01´

camber left +00°06´
camber right +00°30´
difference -00°24´

caster left +02°42´
caster right +02°47´
difference -00°05´

Thank you!

If I knew what portion of a degree 30' (minutes) is, I could give you an opinion.

If it takes 60' to make one degree, then you have +0.5 degree on the right and +0.1 degree on the left. That is not bad. Left is 0.6 from desired, but I wouldn't worry about it unless you experience premature tire wear on the outside portion of that tire's tread.
If the driver sits on the left side, the LF will lean a bit more positive and RF a bit more negative, so it balances out better.

The rear toe measurement of .08' is a smidge over .125 degrees, if I am translating minutes correctly. That's a small bit inside of desired, but probably within tolerance.
Rear tires are much more forgiving of poor alignment settings anyway.

I am used to TOE-IN specs in inches, not degrees. Without knowing what a degree of toe-in translates to, I would guess below .5 degrees is not excessive.

Thanks for the respond!

Yes, minutes divided by 60 is degrees and degrees multiplied with 60 is minutes.

My car runs straight so i guess i´m fairly good then even regarding thread wear?

That appears to be the opposite of what I was thinking: 60 minutes=1 degree.
To put it another way, let's take the Caster measurement +02*42'
I presumed that to read two degrees, forty-two minutes. Is that correct? I made that presumption because 2 degrees would be a very typical caster reading. (except I don't figure minutes readily).

Anyhow,
I wouldn't expect you to have any unusual tire wear with the readings you posted.
FWD cars naturally wear the front tires out much faster than the rear tires. It's just the nature of the beast. I just keep passively inspecting them, and rotate whenever it becomes easy to tell the difference between front & rear wear.
85% of people never rotate their tires and wear the fronts out before the rears have 5/32 gone.

Thanks!
Yes that´s correct, the Caster measurement +02°(degrees)42'(minutes) converts to 2,7° degrees.

Spec´s calls for 2.0° +-0.5° caster.
