Great info & questions. I also was wondering if I could cure my off center steering wheel by off setting the spring mounting position.
That would not cure the steering wheel, assuming you mean that it's not positioned straight when the wheels are straight. Having the centering fiddled with the stabilizer simply moves the natural steering angle of the wheels with no other inputs (i.e. where they self-center to), but it doesn't alter or adjust the correspondence between the wheel positions and the wheel positions. (You could of course adjust it such that the steering wheel tends towards being straight but the vehicle pulls to the left or right--which presumably is not what you're looking for.)
Adjusting the tie rods would be one way to fix the problem. It may also be possible to more directly adjust the steering box or the steering wheel attachment to the steering shaft; I'm not sure of the details about how those parts of the E series are built.
