I wouldnt worry about it, if you cant return them and dont feel like selling them they will work fine, I rode on a 180 all summer. Its just gonna wear down a bit quicker. Handling will be worse in theory but when I have zero complaints except for its really wearing a flat spot into it.

Im gonna buy 170's next time

You can go a bigger rim in the back to fit the 180 tire like I am doing. Here is the thread:
