I always use a laser level to adjust alignment on my car.

I use 2 shims that lay against the wheel rim so to have the laser level clear the tire wall. The laser level is attached horizontal with a bungee hooked in the rim holes, squeezing the shims.

To see the toe in I use a piece of 8 x 1.5 feet plywood that stand vertical on the rear bumper. The laser level is held horizontal and laser dot is marked on the plywood. Then laser level is attached to the other side of car and dot is marked. Now the distance from center of front wheel to the plywood resting on the rear bumper is measured. Plywood is placed in front of car at same distance and again laser level dots are marked on each sides.

The distance between the rear dot marks and the front ones is a good indication of what toe in is actually there.

The best setting is the one you get when you come back from a professional alignment shop.
