C4 alignment question

I have a 96 coupe with the base suspension, but with OEM true ZR1 wheels. I am due for an alignment soon. My question: are the alignment specs different for ZR-1s? I would like the shop to use factory specs for the alignment, but should they use 1995 ZR-1 specs, or 1996 base specs??

Thanks....

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think ZR-!'s have a wider rear track...which will set up differently.

You've got 11" @36 for rears?

I'd be concerned maybe about the "alignment" of the MIND - I don't get the 11" @36 on a base C4
