ceramic floor tile- need help cutting it

I am a fairly active DIYer and have done a fair amount of floor tile in my day. Recently the wife and I decided to remodel the master bath. We picked a 6 inch tile for the floor. I have a tile cutter from Home Depot, this is the kind with two parallel bars and a roller cutting wheel similiar to a glass cutter. I also have a masonary blade in my table saw I even have a carbide grit edge hacksaw blade but I'm in a jamb. I have 11 tiles I have to trim off 1/4 inch on one edge. I have not been successful with the tools I have. Do I have to get a wet saw to cut these 11 tiles? Every time I try to trim off this small amount I get jagged breaks or the tile cracks Even with the table saw the tiles crack. I can't believe I'm 11 tiles from being done. Any advice is appreciated.
