Uppers back is a good idea, too. Before I found these threads I was only thinking of lowers forward cuz I also wanted to move the wheel forward in the well, mainly for cosmetics. Obviously, uppers back would negate a little of this, but I'd take 6 degrees over a perfectly centered wheel!
I probably shouldn't include myself in the conversations while I'm half asleep on the couch. Now I need to go back and re-read everything I wrote.

I have been thinking about elongating the upper cross shaft locating holes for finer adjustments, leaving the shims only for camber adjustments (1/8" of motion would equal .5 degrees of movement). I need to go back and look over your math and Scoti's alignment numbers.
