The best way is to measure it with the string like you said and then get one that size and one size bigger and one size smaller.

You still running PS?

Best trick to do this:

Get a measuing tape and run it arround the pullies as if it were the belt to get the proper size. You may have to buy 2 belts just to save a trip. Get the proper one fitted and take the other back. Good Luck.

i planned to try that but the car is 35 mins away from me right now and i already have one wrong belt so i gotta return that one and i figured it would be worth a shot to see if someone knew the right one.

Just use your old belt. cut it, route it and mark the overlap, then lay it flat on the ground and measure it with a tape measure from one end to the mark you made. Best way I've found to be completely accurate.
