I use one of those "laser" tape measurers to make sure the distance from listening position to speakers is the same for the left and right speaker. It's also handy for making sure the toe-in matches. Measure the distance of the outer edge of one speaker and make sure the other speaker matches. Do the same for the inner edges of the speakers. The amount of toe is now the same on both speakers.

I use a different approach, but with accurate results as well.
My couch has a raised level behind it for another couch (it wraps the lower couch), so it is (painfully accurately) centered in the room.

My speakers are measured from each front and side wall. I built the room, it again, is painfully accurate side to side including adding a corner that is only "needed" on one side (far left and right in old picture).

Different approach, same accurate end results.

Wow; high tech. I stick a tape measure end to the wood part between the tweet and mid stuck to my belly while in seating position left speaker then right...

  I'm not sure about your situation, but if I tried that belly technique
  my speakers would, over time, be almost magically moving closer and closer to me!!

    That makes up for the loss of hearing over time :)
    
    I put in my test tone cd tracks recently. Couldn't hear anything over 16Khz. Getting old.....

    I do all I can to lose weight, but that tummy just doesn't seem to go away. 10# is all I ask for.

Good man. Equal toe in for each speaker is an often overlooked issue.

I can hear it when there is a just a few degrees difference.
