Adj. LCA's - The ONLY way to center wheel?

I am placing some taller tires in the rear and I know I will run into issues with it because currently my 25.7" tires look to be pushed towards the rear of the wheel well. I was thinking it was due to the UMI relocation brackets but I was looking at old pictures of my car and they still were near the rear before the addition of relocation brackets.
I really don't want to purchase new LCA's as I've been reading the 1LE bushings should suffice but have I no other options?

Again, I don't really want to purchase LCA's because my car is somewhere in between a DD and a weekend warrior. I would much rather replace the bushings so I won't increase road noise with a poly/roto-joint combo.

Correct!
When I installed my LCA brackets, I had the stock LCAs bolted up to both the body, as well as the rear axle, to insure that the rear stayed in the same place. As you said, the holes in the relocation brackets are "forward" of the OE holes, in order to keep the rear end in the same place.
Awhile ago, there was some concern that relocation brackets were causing wheels to be pushed back a little based on customer reviews.
Won't happen, unless the brackets are made incorrectly...

I have a set of the "roto-joint" LCAs in my car, because I wanted to get the 'thrust angle' dead on. There isn't any significant noise difference, but since the roto-joint isn't as 'forgiving' or compliant as a rubber bushing, impacts on bumps and expansion strips are more pronounced...
