Leave car on blocks?

So I just got my Flat Black Giovanna Kilis installed, and I managed to scrape the rear driver side already in a VERY narrow drive-through (every drive-through here). I am just going to get all of my rims powder coated to a gloss black. For some reason I do not feel right putting my car on blocks. Is there an alternative? I do not have a spare set of tires as I sold them.

Thanks

If you want to put your car "airborne", you would need 4 jackstands, and of course a hydraulic jack. I do it all the time with my car....even for long periods of time. It's not a problem.
