You make a mark on each rim lip at the same height from the ground, on the outside of the rim. Something like a third of the height of the rim. Maybe 4 inches from the ground. Then place the end of the tape measure at the mark on one wheel and wrap it around front of tire, under car, and to the similar mark on the other tire. Do this on front and back of tires to get difference in measurements. The rear measurement should be approximately 1/4inch more than the front. It won't be perfect but you'll be surprised how close it is when you take it in. Definitely get a second person to help hold the tape measure. Oh, you can adjust the steering rack rod without jacking the car up. Just be sure you tighten the locking nut!
