Default Lateral balance fine points (Trimming(

Hi guys, I'm flight trimming my Bravo 303 and have a lot of right thrust set up on the engine. Is it still accurate to balance the plane laterally by holding the plane at the spinner and tail? It seems to me that the offset of the engine would cause me to add weight to the right wingtip unneccesarily. How do you guys do your lateral balance. The other question I have is what is the best way to trim the rudder in flight? Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
