Driving With Wrong Wheel on Wrong Tire: Any experience with this?

Hi all!

Just had my F15 X5 M Sport 469 OEM wheels refinished by a local shop a couple days ago. Took it for first drive today since wheels/tires were put back on by the shop. So while driving I heard scrapping noise when turning left coming from front left wheel. Drove back home and found out the company installed my 10.5 inch wheel (instead of 9.5) a 275 tire and placed it on the front drivers side. The noise was due to inside part of the wheel was rubbing against knuckle‘suspension when tire was turned left. The finish around the inside face of the wheel has now been ripped off due to scrapping against knuckle.

Has anyone had experience with this? Would there be damage to the knuckle as wheel was pushing in against it while turning? Anything else could have been affected? I’m so pissed and disappointed. Any feedback would be appreciated.
