I have owned a Grizzly G0555 bandsaw for about seven years. It has a
riser block and uses 105" blades.

I have not been able to get the saw blades to track properly since I
bought the saw. The only way I can get the blade centered on the upper
wheel is if I tighten the tracking adjustment as far in as it will go.
However, the blade seems to ride right on the front edge of the lower
wheel no matter what I do.

I spent time last week trying to make sure the two wheels were
coplaner. I had to shim the lower wheel out about 1/4 inch. But I was
concerned about the lower wheel hanging off the shaft that far, so I
removed one of the spacers so it's only shimmed out 1/8" now.

It seemed like it was tracking better till I put a new blade on this
week. Now it wants to track on the front edge of BOTH wheels? I have
the upper support bearing behind the blade adjusted as far forward as
it will go and it's still 1/4" behind the blade.

I even tried to loosen the bolt going through the riser block to see
if I could shift things, but it has pins that keep it from moving.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you run the saw without the riser? If those pins aren't just so,
it's possible they're pulling the two halves out of alignment.
