Camber kit needed for a-spec suspension??

Hey guys, its been awhile. I'm still having slight uneven tire wear in the inner rears with stock rims. lots of people say to get proper alignment done, but i've had it done 3 times within the last 4 years. I've searched and one member mentioned that aspec suspension was designed for the aspec 18in wheels. a car with 17in stock wheels needs a camber kit. That member's post was from a few years ago with no replies. Can someone please update me on how to solve this problem and if its true i need camber kit.

thanks in advance!

What does a camber kit do?
it adjust camber.

this means your alignment is off.
Post up your alignment sheet, so we can verify if they are correct.

the 18 inch aspec wheels with correct tire specs wouldnt matter as its the same rolling diameter as the 17s with correct tire specs.

Thanks for the replies guys. i'm gonna get new tires and have it aligned. Just found out a friend is an acura mechanic and doesn't know about aspec suspension alignment being any different from stock. So can someone please tell the what the exact alignment specs should be for aspec suspension... I wanna make sure he does it the proper way

There is an issue with negative rear camber in the TL. If you need to offset negative camber or toe I'd recommend looking into the INGALLS rear kit (you need a qty of 2):
