I dont know man... those rims look like its passed the fender... Is it? From that angle it looks like you might need to roll some fenders... especially if your gonna drop it...
The front looks good, if you can find 305/25/19 for the rears, other wise go 295... thats the way to go.

be careful
It is indeed the tire width that is the problem. A 275 is only good for a 9.5 or 10.0. Be careful that you don't hit any major bumps or potholes. The tire isn't protecting the edge of the wheel as it is normally designed to do. You may end up with damaged wheels if you aren't careful.

I have same wheels and offsets and they fit good 65 offset rear would be alittle better depending on tire and how much you want to drop the car. I mounted Verdsteins 295 R (67 offset) and made all the difference by my pics you can see that bridgestones are cut square to the edge and the Verds are more rounded at the edge. I think on mine I could come down another inch in inch rear and 2" in the front without any problem. Verd tire is the one on the right in the picture and is the taller 19". Glad to see you got the black center caps.

I love the ruf reps. If you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for them and where? Feel free to send a PM if you would rather not say. Also, do you know what they weigh? Thanks.
