Stans wheel Dish
So I need to move my whole Stans Grail ZTR 2-3 mm toward the drive side. I'm thinking a quarter turn all the way around until I get there. Then true it. Any problems with this?

Tightening the DS has very little effect compared to loosing the NDS.
You'll probably end up something like-
Loosen the NDS 1/2 turn, tighten DS <1/4 turn.
Check
Repeat if.......
However, if you KNOW that your DS spokes are under tensioned, you can put more into that side and loosen less on the NDS.
A tension meter has it's uses for us tone deaf people.

Oddly enough, I had recently checked my Grail wheels with a dishing gauge and the rear was off by about 3-4 mm as well, but I can't remember which way now. Anyways, I did what Bill recommended by loosening spokes on the opposite side and tightening on the other, and was all good. Needed just minor truing afterwards. The front wheel was perfectly dished.

This was super easy, think I was making too much of it. I went around the the wheel one rotation starting and ending at the valve stem and it ended up pretty close to perfect.

Check it with a proper dishing tool, which can be as simple as using stacks of coins to support the wheel over a known, flat surface and flipping the wheel to see if the same height coin stack provides the same clearance from the surface.
