Running 65R18 instead of 55R18?

I just bought a 2005 Lexus RX330 and found that the previous owner put 235/65R18 tires on the car, when it originally came with 235/55R18 tires. What are the milage, speed, and handling differences?
Thanks

Well I just got back from the dealer, and they are replacing the tires with no questions asked.

Yeah, esp if it a CPO car. I'm surprised that size didn't rub in the rear actually.
