Tires mounted wrong...

...I bought new rims yesterday, the rear tires are wider than the front, but I had them mounted, I've driven on them probably about 25 miles and something felt weird so I look at the tires and the guy put one narrow one on the front the other one on the back, and one wide in front and the other one on the back. Im taking it back to have him redo it tomorrow, but would this of ruined anything? I only drove like 25 miles on them so I wouldnt think so but just thought I'd ask.

Also I used my stock lugs on my new rims, does this matter (bought the rims used, didnt come with them)

(the rims are breyton GTS' btw) thanks!

Like the others said, no permanent damage is likely to have been done, just get them swapped back out next chance you get.
