Provided you are behind a NAT router you can use any IP address range you like, even public IP addresses can be used on your internal LAN however you've chosen a specific range with a specific purpose and it's probably the worst range/purpose you could choose! I know a public Class C address that's not being used right now... 161.15.191.x which happened to belong to a defunct US investment bank, or just make one up (but check it doesn't have any special purpose first!)
