Drastic uneven tire wear?

Hi, I have driven my set of Yokohama s drives for about 2500 miles. 70% freeway and 30% city. I'm thinking of changing rears to wider tires. Do I need to change the entire set of 4 tires or just the rears will do? If I only change the rears will the wear be drastically uneven?

Please advise.

Thanks!

2 are fine to change. I thought you were looking at those two sets of wheels in differing offsets though? (or do you just like asking questions)

Hi, thanks for answering! Yes, I was looking for those wheels until I changed my mind after I saw them in person at the shop. The AC Schnitzer was quoted a different price on the phone and the Prodrive is a different finish (they got the stock list mixed up)!

Also, I live in Singapore and the wheel selection here that will fit a 1 series is so limited! I am having a headache sourcing out wheels and I really don't want to indent from overseas since shipping can cost quite a bit...

Finally, I am really new to these, so these questions are really helping me learn! Thanks again for replying!!

Tread wear should be perfectly fine to swap out still since you have only been riding on the fronts for 2500 miles.
