You mean that 275/40 won´t fit? And how about 265/40? I´m planning for next winter (my G80 is on order with delivery in May) to keep the 825 type wheels and put on 265/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear winter tyres.
It is very unlikely that a 40 series profile tyre will fit with 19" wheels regardless of the section width. I personally cannot confirm but have been told it will not fit. If a 40 profile could fit, many of us looking into winter tyres late in the game wouldn't be stressed at all.

I'd be all for trying it out but with a baby at home + non-stop work, it's tough to give any time to experiments when my G80 gets delivered to me. I'll try fitting a 40 profile next year if no one's done it yet by then.
