Yeah roll them and even maybe pull them. You're gonna have to run MADDD camber also. You will probably rub in the front on turns and possibly mess the fender up.
It also depends on tire setup also.

Even if its close to the offsets you mention, that is pretty agressive. But it all depends on how low you are, spring rates, camber and tire size.
Just to give you an example, my car WAS dumped and I run 7.5" +49 fronts and 9.0" +55 rears. I HAD 225/40 and 255/35 on and I rubbed like crazy. I'm also running pretty stiff spring rates. I've since switched to 215/40 and 245/35 and the fronts still rubbed to the point it tore my fender up. I've since had to raise the car and do not rub anymore.

Shave the bolt that protrudes in the rear wheel well and add a little camber. You shouldn't need to roll your fenders.
As for shops, I think its been discussed before and no one has really gone through a shop and has recommendations.
