Yea, both of those tire and wheel fitment combinations are going to be a problem. (clearance wise)

Your 15mm spacers are pushing the rear wheels out too much, and a 275/35/19 tire will rub with an effective offset of +10 on the 19x10 (+25) wheels. The drop of the H&R sport lowering springs makes this a very bad idea. You will end up cutting a tire with your rear fender lip...

The +10 rear offset is too aggressive...

Even a 275/30/19 tire won't be a safe bet, when the rear shocks compress under full suspension travel.

My advice:

Ditch the 15mm spacers, and go with 5mm spacers on the rear wheels instead.

This will give you an effective offset of +20 on the 19x10 wheels, which will allow you to use the 275/35/19 tires without having any rubbing issues with the fender. (when factoring in the drop of the H&R sport lowering springs)
