You might find the PET useful:

It seems that the 996 part has been superseded by the 997 part number you gave. Note that this P/N is for the hub only, and doesn't include the wheel bearing. Probably you want to change both.

Rolex,

From what I can tell from the PET, the 996 P/N has been superseded by the 997. I'm not an expert, so I am not going to assure you that is the right part.

You need a press to get the bearings into the hub - I recently had this done on my car at a shop.

If you're going to get all the parts and do it yourself, I suggest you call Suncoast (board sponsor). I have also ordered parts from Sonnen. You might try there as well.

Not 100% sure but I think an adjustable rear toe kit will fix this issue. You can find a set for like $450. You are not alone everyone who lowers there car will have this issue. I do. Check tarett, agency power, gmg they all make this kit.
If you don't want to do this next time you buy tires don't buy ones that are "inside/outside" bias as they are not rotatable. Buy ones that are "rotation" bias and you can swap your rear tires around to double your inner tire wear life.
And please if I am mistaken someone else please chime in, but I don't think I am wrong.
