Looking at my setup here this can only be the inner wheel correct? Since due to ackermann the outerwheel at this angle and with 1 degree of toe out is around 17 or 18.

IMO the outer wheel is more important during cornering (weight shifting, centrifugal force etc), so why is the inner wheel being measured?

Or am I completely wrong here and indeed the outer wheel is measured and mine is just wrong?

Once again thanks in advance for answering,

The others have given you good information, and I do the same as they do to get %100 steering. As for the steering throw, I measure the inside and usually get around 28 degrees when I'm at 100%. I then use the dual rate on my radio to dial back to 25-26 degrees on asphalt, and less on carpet. If you can only get 18 degrees, then something is not correct in your steering geometry.
