I think a good hairdryer would work, you will just have to spend more time heating the paint. Remember, you don't have to get the paint super hot, just hot enough. You should be able to pick up a heat gun at home depot for quite cheap.

Hair dryer will work just fine. Just not as quick as heat gun but it gets the job done the same...

most home depots have tool rentals. i think a heat gun is $5.

kragen also has tool rentals. but a heat gun is only like $15 from habor freights..

yes, i did my research and found that some members have rubbing issues and some don't.. this is quite strange as the same wheels/offsets/similar tires and drop.

could it be there's a difference between base/enthusiast/touring/track...? I can't think of any other reason why.

you can get away with +22, 10.5" with a drop, IF you fun 275's in the rear.
anything larger, its time to roll. sometimes if you run tires with smaller sidewalls like falken and bfg then you might be able to get away with a 285

Im running 10.5" + 22 on the rear dropped on GF210's and im fine. I'm on Nitto NT555 tires which I think run a little narrow. My question is if i throw a 5mm spacer on I'll definitely have to roll the fender right? What about my fronts since I now have a 19x9.5" + 26

I'm Running Chikara lS1
Front= 19x8.5 et15 with 255/35/19 Nitto invo
Rear= 19*10 et20 with 285/35/19 Nitto invo

Im at stock height...however i do notice some rubbing when taking really hard corners or especially comming of Onramps etc. (but only happens when really cornering hard). I guess it could be the soft suspension. I think some nice stiff springs could cure the issue or possibly a fender roll.
