I think it would... I think a 245 tire will fit on 8-9.5" width. That's according to the tire size calculator on 1010tires.com.

will it stick out too much over the lip? that is fine if it does its going my wifes car, so hopefully it will protect the rim from the curbs that jump out of nowhere supposedly

I don't think you'd have any problems fitting a 245/35R19 on a 8 inch wide rim. I check that tire calculator and it says the recommended rim width range is 8 to 9.5 inches.

I have 255-30 on my 8.5's and they are perfectly fluch with the lip of the wheel. so in theary 10mm less width in the tire and 12.7mm less width in the wheel should still be about the same as mine

it fits but does not look very good, i tried that back when i had my TC, it ended up looking bloated. so i would not recomend it, the widest i would do is a 235/35 on a 8" wide rim.
