no offense but running a 18x9.75 et20 cutting is definitely not the way to go- you might as well start a rims FS thread if you want to run that size and offset cause once you cut you will never be able to.
He needs a Roll and Pull to fit those rears- once you cut you cant pull without buckling or royal F'n up your fenders with a fender roller or when your rim.tire smashes into them. The most you can probably get away with- with cutting is 9.5 et30 and thats with a tire stretch.

Cutting can get the job done, a few forum members including DM have done it and they leave enough to maintain the structural integrity.
Rolling, obviously leaves a smoother edge and is more forgiving on the tire if you ever DO touch tire (or rim) to fender!

is it an absolute necessity to do this with an Eastwood roller?
I have a heat gun...
I have a wooden seam press roller...
I have a wife to help...
Definitely need to do the rears here are my specs:
19x8.5
245/35-19
35 offset
Front I just need to push in the part where the fender meets the bumper, shouldn't be too hard but the rear intimidates me.
Any advice for a well mechanically inclined novice?

Yup that sucked
don't try this at home unless you've got someone that knows wtf they're doing.
the front - not too bad - not as much metal to bend but the paint WILL crack
the rear - impossible to do correctly without the right tools and know how
now to find a fender roller in Rhode Island, that should be fun
