Alignment Question - 2004 A-Spec Wheels

I have the 2004 A-Spec wheels. 18x8.5. I just got new tires (thanks to a pot hole) but NTB (tire shop) used the standard 17" wheel alignment parameters to perform my alignment. Is this ok or do they need to use differnet parameters? If yes, where can I find them?

I dont think the wheels size matters, i know that there are different alignment specs with the aspec kit with the suspension though.

Acura changed the specs on the alignment of the 04 after the car was on the market, you might want to make sure that NTB has the correct specs. This is something I remember from reading here but not exactly sure how this worked out. Just thought I'd put it in.

I would take it to an Acura dealer. NTB, Tire King and Merchants. I just don't trust anymore.

I also have the A-Spec suspension, so it could be different. Any suggestions on how to get the parameters?

A-Spec Alignment Specs...

A question I have yet to find the real answer to. There seems to be two different set of specs. Lore had started a thread about this same question and it never did seem to be answered. One set of specs is from the A-Spec installation sheet and the other from a TSB -

These are from the A-Spec installation sheet -

From Acura TSB -


I would love to find out which are the correct specs...
Does anybody have the answer yet?
