Coupe tires on sedan ?

i have c63s running on stock tiers and i have to replace them, I'm planing to go for : 255/35-19 Front, 275/35-19 Rear.

I'm just wondering if i could run a 255/35-19 Front , 285/30-19 Rear like the coupe. Anyone tried it before ? will it affect the speedometer that much ?

and do you think by changing the tire size to the coupe spec the car will be 0.1 second faster as they claim?

I doubt you'll pick up anything against a watch. The coupe is geared lower than the sedan, and is still only a tenth quicker.
