I think you need the heat gun to warm up the paint so it doesn't crack when you roll the fenders.

if you're going to paint the car anyways, who cares about heating up the paint. Just roll the fenders, then get them painted. Saves you a lot of time.

heres some pics of my new wheels...
18" Work VS-MX 10J -4off ... it will fit but how far will you go to make it fit... Previously I was able to fit 10J +7... this was a bit of a task but it fits and rubbing is -almost- non existant. Only when cornering hard (partly due to bad sus)

I will try to take some better pics in the morning... but I shot these before i left the garage area a few hours ago.

lots of pounding... lots of refitting over and over again. the fenders are still rough once I am completely happy with them will begin sanding and add filler to smooth them out , but for now this is how they look.
