Default 18 x 9... doable without the help of a body shop? (edited)

tirerack sells OZ SL's in 18x9 et.35 for 375 each. think i could do those with 255/35/18? im gonna play with spacers, and try to roll the fenders, then roll them some more, then more... you get the idea. is this doable without bringing a body shop into play?

from what i hear it's very doable with some stretching of the front fenders, but i was wondering if a heat gun, a fender rolling tool, and an entire afternoon could do the trick? (by my guerilla math, i estimate i need to push the fender out about a minimum of 3/4 inch at the top)
