Suspension question

[Audiian24]

Just installed the st suspension kit on my 2005.5 Audi A4 Quattro and also installed rear upper control arm bushings as they were shot. I just tried taking my car to a shop for an alignment and was told it could not be done because 1. No front camber adjustment (so I ordered 034 adjustable upper control arms to fix this) and 2. there was not enough clearance for the tire rod. I'm not crazy low, just moderately low in the front. It does not rub. My wheels are 17x8 with 235 45 17 Michelin pilot sport tires. My question is do I need stretched tires? Will my current wheel/ tire set up work? Should I try a different shop?Image1467303403.408314.jpg

Yea try a different shop. Im on my 3rd quattro. Never had issues with 4 wheel alignment on any of them. 87 5000S, B7 A4 and now B8 A4. Sounds like they dont have a F clue what they are doing.
