If someone is looking for stock wrx tires I don't really know if they are looking for firm sidewalls. For a street driven car these should be totally fine if the person obeys the speed laws.

All I'm saying is, Mike explicitly called out the size he needs. A 65 series tire is significantly taller than a 55 series tire... 10% taller in fact. We're not talking about running 235/40's instead of 225/45's.
Without knowing exactly what car and what wheels these are going on, I wouldn't shrug off that much of a size difference. For example, if I went up 10% in side wall height on my SVX, I'd rub all over the place in the back... every bump and every turn. If I did it on my WRX, the wheels probably wouldn't even roll because the fenders would be sitting on the rubber instead of on the suspension!
So... maybe those 65's would work, but I would want to know what car they're going on, what size/offset the wheels are, etc. before recommending them as "okay". Like Andy said... if it's a bone stock WRX there's quite a bit of room for more tire... but if these are going on a lowered Honda for example, who knows.
