Do 5mm wheel spacers change alignment?

I like the look of 5mm spacers on the GT3, thinking of installing them on my 997S Cab.

Do I need a new alignment?

Anyone done this?

I've seen a lot of posts about adding spacers - I've done so too and no one has ever mentioned needing an alignment. I never got one and mine tracks fine and tire wear seems even.

Yes - but not enough to place it out of alignment if the vehicle was right on (in the green bands) but if close to the yellow could place you more towards the red.

Ever see a alignment sheet?
