one thing I noticed with my car when I rebuilt the suspension over the winter and replaced the 48 year old strut rod bushings with energy suspension poly strut rod bushings is that it pushed my front wheels back a good 1/2" or so. before rebuild, the biggest tire I could fit was a 195/70R14 front, and there was only about 1/2" clearance to the leading edge of the bottom of the wheelwell when turning the wheel. after, the BBP rallyes I picked up with 225/70R14's fit with similar clearance. if the strut rod is pushing the LCA rearward that will reduce the amount of +caster possible.
