also what size front wheel tire combo are people using? im using 17x9 +20 235/40, considering 17x9 +0 215/40, but not sure if i can fit that under stock fenders with 40mm S13 extended LCAs
When I used extended FCAs, I still used strings to dial out the crab walk (I assume that's what you mean by thrust angle) and then toe plates (more like a toe 2x4) to get back to zero toe.

Are you decreasing offset to gain inner clearance? Do you need to be stancy stretched? I ran into that same problem with my 37mm extended FCAs, so I got skinny wheels. They don't pick up many bitches or cute scene boys, but they have a lot more clearance and they fit under stock fenders. Just a thought.
