As a rough guideline you can run a string from front to back and take measurements off of it. There are a few tricks to a do-it-yourself job. I have toe plates and a caster/camber gage if you need to borrow.

first you need to know if the front and rear track are the same width, then 4 jacks stands to form a box around the car with kite string.

The old link I used is now dead, but google will find many that are helpful.
