What determines toe-in are the mechanical characteristics of the vehicle itself. There are lots of factors. For your car, with radial tires, and new components, 1/16 of an inch, or .065 inch, is about right. Zero is too little, and for sure 4 mm, or .160 inch, is way too much.
The trick is to set it accurately, with the steer tires in the straight ahead position, because the ackerman principle of toe-out-turns will quickly upset any attempt to set it other than straight ahead.
So let an alignment shop that has a good rep set it and the caster and camber. Your car is fully adjustable so make use of that.
