Is this a good way to tune afr w/o wideband?
First off, I leaned out the mixture to the 870s 880s, making sure I didnt have any KR.
My stock timing was 24-26 in some areas with 28 in the rest so Tthen moved all the cells to 28 so that I'm getting 28 across the board.
When I did this, I began to see knock retard. So I just richened up the mixture until the KR went away. I'm sitting at around 910ish across the board.
I assume that I am now as lean as I could possibly be without getting KR at my desired timing, correct? Will this be as good as I can get without a wideband?

Yeah. I think since the 02s are placed further downstream w/ LTs that your 910 mV reading may be the same afr as a stock manifold's car 890 reading. The exhaust cools a little more which will naturally raise the mV reading from the 02s.
