Default Wheels and tire experts

I need help from a tire and wheel expert, my work wheels are coming in they are 20x9.5 +22 and 20x105 +28 tires are gonna be 225/35 and 245/35. Will it be ok to get the tires mounted and drive to the auto store to get fender roll them alignment or should I have them mounted and drive it to the auto store using a truck where the fender roll is going to take place?

If I were you, I wouldn't drive on them until the necessary fender work is completed. The last thing you want is to ruin your fender on your way to the shop. If you have perfect fenders now, keep them that way. Trimming the fender was also mentioned and if you don't need a ton of clearance, I would go that route. There is less chance of ruining your fenders by trimming than by rolling them if you only need a few mm of clearance. Good luck!

Good point but fender trim requires paint blending? And fender roll does not am I correct?

No it does not. Because the same inner lip that you roll is what you'd be cutting. So no paint work required. Rolling shouldn't require paint work but it depends on who does it. However, there is no guarantee that the paint won't crack when rolling. Often times hairline cracks occur and you can get away with having them but eventually they would get worse and paint work would be required.
