c63s tyre upgrade

Im having 2015 c63s and i want to switch into new tyres which is wider.
245/35/19 F
265/35/19 R
Planning to switch 275/30/19 for rear which is wider and thinner.
Any suggestion and pic for example?

275/35/19 would be closer in diameter than the 275/30/19.

Both are "within" spec, but I'd go for the 275/35/19 before I'd go with the 275/30/19.

agree as it rides rough enough with a 35 let alone a 30

All things being equal (tire compound, air pressure, etc.) if you increase your contact patch, you increase your rolling resistance. So yes, it will likely decrease your MPG. However, will you actually notice? Probably not.
