The baseball bat method worked great for me, my paint is thrashed anyways so I didn't bother with a heat gun. There's no limit to how much you can roll/pull the fender out if you are methodical and creative.
Done with a baseball bat, this is a stock NA fender and those are 15x9's with 225/45's on them. There's probably room for the 275 under there:

If you mean me, so far he is not shipping it anywhere. It is only being rented to people that he can essentially hand it to. But yes the thing is moderately heavy so shipping would not be cheap unless maybe it could be crammed into a USPS flat-rate box or something.

No worries, just yanking your chain
Yeah I am not sure taking scales to the track is a good idea either. Things get damaged, walk off, etc. I suppose I could level the trailer and use ramps... naaahh. I am there to race. Whatever we do has to be pretty low maintenance.

Depends on your ride height and stiffness of your spring. I'm using a relatively soft setup so I kept rubbing the liners so I pulled them. If you don't rub, leave them in, they can't hurt.

They are just kind of being held in there by the curled up lip on the inside edge of the fender. I think they will be fine but I'll remove them if they look like they could be a problem.
