I quite like the design, just the rears.... ahhh LOL.
You can achieve it easier than you think. Get a thinner tread width so the tires will stretch a bit, do a mild roll, and run very light camber. You'll have no problem.

I'm putting a 10.5" ET 27 on the rear of my coupe and am running a 255/35 tire. It'll tuck nice and tight without any rubbing.

Albeit the coupes have a bit more room in the rear for wider wheels but it's something you can achieve without any issue.

Hmm, currently the rear tires are 285/35/19.
So I would run 265/35/19?
Only problem is I would run into staggered issues.

What's the width on those rear wheels? 10.5"?

And what do you mean you'll run into staggered issues? Are you referring to the X-drive <1% issue?

Yeah, knowing the complete F&R tire & wheel specs would be a plus, especially w/ your XS.
Are these just too sweet a deal to pass up? Just seems like you should be able to find a setup that's a much easier fit for your G

Yea, its a pretty good deal. And I do like the style of these.
So the specs.
FR= 19x9.5 +40
RR= 19x10.5 +23

FR= 245/40/19
RR= 285/35/19

I do know I will have to run stretched tires, but I have no idea what the safe margin would be. I've been using this Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com won't let me input stretched tire specs.

Rollin/pullin fender and small camber will have to happen. But I want to make sure my transfer case doesn't explode.

I understand rolling the inside fender lip on cars that only have that 90* bend in the sheet metal, but thats not the design of the G last I looked. Maybe I'm not following your intent.

Pulling the fender, though... How do you do that without fabricating an extension to the fender?

About all you can do tire wise is go down to a 275/35/19 rear as your 245 is already lightly stretched so I wouldn't go any narrower in front.
If you don't mind doing the fender pull in back (and have a good shop to do it) then that would probably be your best bet at this point. Keep in mind a fender pull can look horrible if not done by a very good shop and it will be harder to sell at a later date once the fender's pulled. The fenders in back are already flat-rolled from the factory so a pull is all that's left. Camber is another option too.
I think I'd still look for another set of wheels, but that's your call.

thinking of getting a new set up since I m going to be baggin the G. Something a little more aggressive but not ridiculous especially at drive height.

Thinking of going like 19x10 +20 with high/low disk. my current set up is 19x9.5 +25 all around

Hahaha my phones fine, it took a couple scuffs but works flawless lol. Go pro is next on the expense list lol! I honestly thought I would clear it, if you notice I hesitated though a few seconds where I was thinking, wait I may not clear this, then just went HAM on it anyways lol. I had to drive an hour outside of Buffalo just to get somewhere semi remote

i dont think you got the idea of what i was proposing. Take two videos and slice them together into a flyby coming and going.

Car sounds good, btw. I see you categorized the video as "comedy". Seems about right. I'm still laughing... Just showed it to the wife. (She thinks you're an idiot, LOL)

And hell, I'm in Rochester NY, not MN. Meaning, I'm an hour outside Buffalo. You should meet up. Or at the least, drive down to the August sedan meet up with me.
