Hello,
have a look at the D7000 forum thread 'D7000 Focus Problem' where several users have noted a required adjustment to the AF Fine Tune.
However in their, and my experience, the adjustment is always towards the negative. Try settings in the range -10 to -15 (and use the focus chart described in the thread) and see if things improve. I note in the EXIF data that AF Fine Tune is always OFF, but you mention +10 settings (?)
