Question Mismatch 4x4 tires

So i just recently bought a new ram 4x4(07 mega cab). then yesterday while up at road atlanta i found a guy selling some used off road tires. They are in pretty good shape, about 75-80% tread left. So when i asked how much he says $125 for all 5!?!?! But he says two are Mickey Ts 305/65/17 or 33x12 and three are Deep creeks 318/72/17 or 35x12.50. Now i bought them anyways cuz i men $125 **** it. But I do remember reading on here a while back about changing gear ratios and how front and rear spin needs to be precise then yall started going into some real math to offet gear ratios with wheel size...unsubscribe....

But NOW i need to know before i throw these on. Will the size difference be bad for the truck? I mean i could always serach for matching sizes. Its not an emergecy. I'm just saying $125

Mismatch will damage the transfer case. IMO I would buy 4 that match.

That's what I figured. I'll just wrap these up and store them til I find matches
