Default Winter Wheels mixup. Staggered setup

The tire shop I brought my 17 is300 FSPORT to for winter tires put the wider 18/255 tires in the front and the 18/225 tires in the rear. I only noticed after I got home so I drove it a little bit. Does this cause any permament damage? Can I leave it this way or not recommended?

Thanks

It's better to switch it up. Do it yourself or just take it back.

dont drive it far like that. it wont cause damage to your trans or diff or anything like that, but with the 255's in the front knuckle will rub with the inner lip of the wheel. seen it before.
