Falken Azenis FK510. In need of advice..

So yesterday I purchased a set of Rohana RF1 wheels with a tire package. The only tires in my price range were the Falken Azenis FK510s. Ok great sounds good. Until the shop states some people complain about the sidewalls and say they are a "short" sidewall. Being the tires will be 265/30/20 fronts and 295/30/20 rears, Im a bit nervous the tires will look like rubberbands and wont fill the wheel well. Does anyone have experience with these tires and this situation? Or are the Falken side wall complaints possibly only a few people being picky?

I have those tires in the exact dimensions you mentioned. I don't have any complaints. Here's what it looks like.

You're car looks perfect. Any chance you have side photos to see how far the rim sticks out past the tire? I feel they will be perfectly fine, but the vendor mentioned the tires look stretched a bit. I just find that hard to believe.

How do you guys like these tires? Heard they have good wet grip but how is the dry compared to other tires?

Honestly I haven't put many miles on the tires yet but have zero complaints. Traction seems great to me in wet and dry weather. Great for the price.
