mjhcobra,

I see!

It looks like I overlooked the obvious as usual: the pin drive adapters add considerably to the offset of the wheel. It almost looks as if they might well add more than an inch! Mine are bolt-on so they have less offset than yours because of that.

Be a little careful about getting more backspace - it would be good to make sure the upper a-arm and the strut rod that goes from the lower arm clear when the change is made - don't forget the tire gets closer to the lower a-arm when the wheel is turned all the way. I had to use spacers in the rack to limit its travel to prevent interference.

Perhaps a photo looking from the bottom straight up would be more informative.

Tom

PS: Your shop looks entirely too clean - that could be part of the problem LOL
