Unfortunately, a stock 996 cannot be corner balanced. But I do have a good alignment!
Suspension upgrades are probably the next item on my list, but probably not for another year or so.
Thanks for the fitment confirmation.

However it is not under alignment or corner balance. You need to be the kind or Porsche Dork who reads these manuals from cover to cover to find hidden factory "Options" that might be an advantage for competition. Or just to see how the story ends...
Porsche has really de-emphasized corner balance as the cars have gotten heavier and loaded with so many driver aids.
They even state this on one of the later service manuals for one of the "standard" cars
But it really can make a difference, and checking is easy...
Adjusting is another story.
I am doing one tomorrow.

Holy cow, no kidding? I've gotten the 'can't be done' answer from everyone but you!
God I love this club!
How hard is it? Ie, what kind of cost am I looking at to get a corner balance alignment done on my '03 996 C2? Feel free to PM/email if you prefer to take it off the public forum.

Can anyone here give me definitive fitment info for my stock 996? I'm going to be running 18x8 and 18x10 wheels. To keep the diameters the same with maximum rubber, it seems like 245/40/18, 275/35/18 would be perfect, or 245/40/18, 295/30/18 would be close enough to not mess up my computer. But will the 245/40 fit in my front wheel well? And should I push 295 onto the 10" rim, or go undersized with the 275?
