Urgent specialist tyre advice 21 inch wheels pls...

Hi All,
I purchased my 520D BMW with some awesome 21 inch wheels, the two rear are now worn down and cords showing on inside need urgent replacement but tyres on front still have 6mm on. At £250 each i didn't want to change all 4 and the 275/25ZR21 92Y Sport Contact 6 Pirellis are on a 6 week lead time to UK. Question is can I put 275/30/21 92Y or 275/35/21 92Y on the rear (rear wheel drive only model) and keep the front tyres as they are? (fronts 245/30ZR21), Or will I have any issues?
The BMW local dealer stated the tyres are the wrong size for the wheels, not sure what he meant by this?
Can Anyone with specialist knowledge on this topic help please?
Thanks
Pete

The wheel/rim looks too wide for a 275 out back. I would look to replace the rear with a 295/25R21 just to accommodate the rim width.

Agreed. If it's 21x10.5 wheel then that size matches OEM diameter pretty spot on.
