PLEASE RELEASE THE cap-lock, YOU ARE YELLING!. Thank you

You can run 19's but, I don't recommendthem on SN95 or New Edge Stangs.

Being lowered increases the clearance problems and would need likely rub unless you stayed 8's & 9's and 35 series tires. You will have more clearance with 18's and have more tire/wheel options as well, so I recommend them.

What sizes tires/wheels do you want to run?

I don't see rubbing issues with that combonation, but the 245 is pretty narrow for a 9' wheel. I think you would be fine with a 255/35 or even a 265/35 up front. I would stay with the 275/30 out back and don't see a rubbing issue.

I am running 295/30/18's on 10's and 315/30/18's on 11's with more than 1.5' drop (see sig pics and click the 'red X' a second time after first page opens to see image). My fronts are 25.1' & rears are 25.5' diameter and have zero rubbing. Your 19's are 1/2' larger, but your tires are narrower and hence shorter sidewall.

caballo - you´re OK on the wheel width - 245/35´s are approved up to 9.5" wide wheels. 9" does sound a tiny bit wide for a 245 tire if you are more accustomed to seeing 245´s in either 45 or 50 profile, but 9" wide rimswould even work for them as a very mild "stretch". Typically, a 245/xx tire matches diameter very nicely with a 275/(xx-5), so the front to rear visual balance is maintained as well.

Too bad about your stuck CAPSLOCK key[sm=shootshoot.gif] and too bad for my eyeballs (which I think may have suffered temporary hearing loss) . . . .
