The stock tires are 265-70-r16

The ones he sold me are 265-75-r16

I brought them to Farm n fleet to have them put on and they called me back saying I really shouldn't put them on my truck because it can screw up my drivetrain being they aren't the same size as the other 2.

I had them hold off on putting them on and figured I'd ask you guys if that's a legit concern (the truck is 4wd).

I guess I've always had matching tires, but the deal was too good to pass on and if I need to, I can resell them.

Per my little brother...

You do not want to put those tires on your vehicle. The wrong size will cause excessive wear in the transfer case. Going to the wrong size is bad enough but most shops wont recommend putting on the same size tire that has a greater difference than 4/32 in tread on a vehicle with an AWD/4WD system.
