Does anyone know if a 17inch rim will fit on my 2019 genesis g70 3.3t advance w brembo brakes?

Maybe rear. Definitely not the front.

No way. Why would you want 17's? Track?

17"s would be ideal on the rear axle for drag racing... for those who are big into that sort of thing. For maximum traction on launch, tire compliance is absolutely critical for the best "bite". Without enough of it, you can have the widest low-profile tires on the rear driven wheels, and they'll simply lose mechanical grip and skip on the tarmac. The coiled-up driven tires also act much like a rubber band, which imparts a sling-shot effect that propels the car forward.

This below is an extreme case, but does illustrate the point.

In case you do not believe this can happen with low-file tires... this is a 315/30R18 launched with 850HP. Specialty drag tires, of course. "Normal" street tires also exhibit the same effect, albeit to a much much lesser degree.

Outside of drag racing... not a whole lot of reason to run 17's, except maybe for winter tires.

That's why I said track is those retract functions. I would never drag race the G70 in that it's such a good handling car is more for the track as opposed to a drag strip. In a track situation the 17s are much of an advantage and there's the cold fact that they will not fit on the car with brembo's. And that fact is hard to overcome.

Yeah, it's not my cup of tea, either. I thought it was worth mentioning because there are G70/Stinger drivers that are into that sort of thing.

I remember not too longer ago someone posted a for sale ad on a FB page of a pair of 17" wheels with drag radials mounted on a Stinger GT rear axle, so fitment over the rear Brembo is definitely possible. Front Brembos? Not likely.
