i recently bought a pair of niche apex wheels 10.5 inches all around with 275/315 tire package and i have 2 problems.
first i must mention that i dropped my car 1.4 inches in the front and 1.0 in the rear so im in need of a wheel alignment however... the strut on my suspension was touching the wheels and i had a problem there. i put on 7mm spacers and it saved me for the time being.
i hear that there are no altercations to the springs when it comes to wheel alignments but 5 wheel alignment places ive visited told me that i need a camber kit... and i keep on showing them the alignment numbers from bmr but they dont agree and tell me i need a camber kit..
so im not sure of what to do at this point.. can i get a wheel alignment?

You shouldn't have any issue getting it aligned. There is a lot of adjustment in the factory holes, no camber "kit" required. You just need a suspension shop that knows camaros.

Talk to the shop that sold you the rims/tires, I'm leaning towards the same setup.

Hmmmm. I've got this set up minus 1.4" drop on front and have 20X10 there. I have Eibach 1" all around. Alignment tech said was no problem!
