Have a funny feeling I bought the wrong offset for my wheels
Please tell me these wheels are going to fit right on my car. I've been waiting 3 weeks and I just realized the offset is way different than my current Volks
What I have coming
Volk Racing TE-37 19x8.5 Front +35 Running 245/35/19
19x9.5 Rear +34 Running 265/30/19
Is this going to fit right
Car is lowered on Coilovers about an inch all the way around.. A little more in the front.

There's a chance you may not be required to roll, but more likely than not. When rev mentioned bumper tags, I imagine he was referring to the rears, rather than fronts. The fronts should not give you trouble, it's the rears that may require some light work.
Fender rolling is a very simple process; don't let the fact that it is unknown scare you away. If no shops in your area offer this service and there are no individuals that have a roller (check out the local section of various car forums, someone is bound to have one unless you live in the middle of nowhere), you can always try an online rental service.
Edit: You may be able to get by with some camber adjustment, I'm not really sure. For the most part, 9.5 ET36 w/265's isn't really too aggressive. You may not need a roll at all, it will be very close.

max for most 265/9.5 combo's is about +40 or so in the rear before needing to roll the inner wheel flap tho some narrower brand tires may get a few more mm and then you may still clear with heavy negative camber at the expense of excessive tire wear, plus going 1" narrower in the front is an automatic fail in my book too. There is more room in the front than the rear and now you can't rotate wheel positions easily other than side to side, which with directional tires with require remounting them. Staggered sizes FTL ...
