255/35/19 front w/ 285/30/19 rear on stock 19\'s

Does anyone know or have experience running 255/35/19 (front) and 285/30/19 (rear) tires on stock 19" wheels for f80/82?

I am getting tires from a friend that was on his E63S. They are Pirelli P-Zeros from Mercedes. I am hoping they will work...

Should be fine. What are the widths and offsets on the wheels?

Front: 19 x 9 ET 29
Rear: 19 x 10 ET 40

You think this will be fine? What differences would I likely notice with this setup? Better/worse traction? More or less understeer?

Thanks.

You will be fine, plenty of room for those.

Circumference at the rear is a bit smaller than stock so i guess the speedo will read higher than real speed

Thanks. Do you think acceleration or handling would be affected/suboptimal due to the larger diameter on the front tires.

I know the e92 M3 GTS has this same tire setup so I'm thinking it should be fine. Probably overthinking this..

As stated, the rear tire will be a little more thin than oem size. This may look a little funny.
