I have some 507 wheels and I’m looking to put new tires on it. I am going for the most aggressive and flush look possible. What’s the widest tire you can put on front and rear for these wheels with our cars for those of you that have the wheels? I was thinking 275/30/19 on rear and 245/35/19 on front. I really want to get spacers as well with this set up to make it aggressive. Feedback would be much appreciated!

On the OEM 8" & 9" wide rims, I wouldn't put anything wider than the OEM 235 & 255 sized tires, especially on 19s which have minimal sidewall. They are already stretched enough as it. As a guide, here's a chart of rim width vs. tire size. A 275 on an 9" wide rear on a heavy, 500 hp car is asking for trouble.
I have 275 tires on my other 9” wheels as well. No issues what so ever. That’s just recommendation, since they have to follow guidelines or else they would be in trouble.

No, that's safety. Every tire has an approved rim width. Just because you walked through a village where some residents have Ebola and you didn't get sick, it doesn't mean that Ebola is not dangerous and that imposing a quarantine is just a recommendation.
