apparent_length ~= range * sin (angular_length)
AOB ~= acos(range*sin(angular_length)/actual_length)
AOB ~= acos(range*sin(horizontal_ticks*0.15)/actual_length)

You could do that, or you could just just use one of these:

As I understand it, Hitman (the kind fellow responsible for these wheels) is now working on a template for a wheel to calculate AOB based on length vs. mast height measurements.
