Might go ok for a Robo but your guy would like something bigger. The good news is it doesn't look from that pic like his back is bent but it may be just the way the pic was taken so look carefully yourself. The back must be straight with no strain or it can cause injury. The shop was less than helpful to sell you such a small wheel. They either didn't know or care it might not be suitable. I'd suggest getting one online as said above, and next time you go to the shop take a printout of this thread and ask to return it for a full refund. If they are going to give you bad advice don't buy from them.
On another note, I wonder if your guy might like deeper substrate? Or maybe it's shallow there for the wheel?
