Default wheel allignment/toe adjustment-05 Sportsman 500

On an 05 Sportsman 500, what is the correct wheel allignment? Viewing from the front, the wheels are pitching out at the bottom and when an attempt is made via the service manual to check the wheel allignment, the front wheels in comparision to the rear are wider than the rear at the center of the wheel. I heard that the 05 Sportsman had a design change and the front wheels are a bit wider, but the service manual does not indicate that. Any ideas or is it normal?

you cannot adjust the wheel camber, and it comes that way from the factory to increase handleing and stability. and yes, on the 2005 models longer front A arms were introduced, which widend the front
